Labour leadership challenger Owen Smith He told BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine programme: " Crucially, I think we need to be less timid, as we speak, I think Jeremy and Tony have got something in common in that respect, neither of them has been very forthright when it comes to really radical policies to change things." Mr Corbyn rebelled hundreds of times when Mr Blair was leader and has called for the ex-premier to be "held to account" for the Iraq war.

"I think Jeremy has shared some of the traits of New Labour in that he's not been bold enough," Mr Smith added. "We have not put pen to paper on policy in almost any area in the last nine months. "Some of the big victories he talks about, tax credits for example, getting the Government to row back on that, getting it to row back on cuts to disabled people, well, I led those, I led that opposition in Parliament.
