'We have four years to bring change' says Labour peer Lord David Blunkett after wave of new MPs elected

The Labour peer and former Home Secretary, Lord David Blunkett, has urged the government to give new MPs a role in the party and politics and not to use them as "voting fodder" to avoid discontent over the current parliament.

The former Sheffield Brightside MP (now Sheffield Hillsborough and Brightside) spoke to The Star's 'The Sheffield Scoop' podcast where he warned the electorate would let the party know at the polls if they hadn't delivered on the promise of change during the General Election.

Lord Blunkett sat down with The Star's Harry Harrison for The Sheffield Scoop podcast, and you can find the full interview wherever you get your podcasts from September 20.
