and so nandy says, well, i've got to say something.going to say, i'm in favour of us all getting on a lot better. there is no possibility in a free speech world and actually really in a social media world where people are going to agree with each other, what we've discovered is that not only do we get a vote, we have the ability to go on x or twitter or whatever it is and actually say these things, and it's that issue, which means and thatis it's that issue, which means and that is why i don't even know bother why? why is she bother saying any of this? because it fundamentally will not be true . fundamentally will not be true. people want to have pride in their country, but there is likely to be division based on culture. >> that's the difference. when you're saying about there will always be differences of opinion because people are individuals. icannot because people are individuals. i cannot just intrinsically think like you. i'm a different person. indeed indeed, it's possible to function with a difference of opinion without being

wise are such strong support for lisa nandy?fficult question? how are you going to bring us back to power and unite the party? the overwhelming majority felt that lisa nandy was a breath of fresh air. she understands the extent of the challenge that we have a mountain to climb. she was the one with the optimism, innovation, the ideas, the creativity and a decisive result and one am proud to back subway the differences between her and keir starmer and getting his agency nominations... why do people think that she has notjust the edge right away reps from every region dow was there a stance towards a london candidate? i think in the movement, we talk too much from the prism of our own eyes. people across the uk wa nt to our own eyes. people across the uk want to see someone who they can trust, who speaks for them it has the same experiences and have been through life's challenges like they have. lisa nandy one that by a mile, we had no discussion about whether it should be a woman, it can't be a bloke not met it was none of that.

lisa nandy welcome to political thinking. hello.eel being a political spectator in effect at this extraordinary time of political crisis? i mean, i probably shouldn't say this. it's not good to start a podcast, is it, by saying, i shouldn't say this, but, you know, in some ways it's sort of quite a relief for it not to be labour at the centre of all the drama. we've had huge amounts of political upheaval on our own side and you know, us being the party that isn't going through that, that is unified, is and looking out to the country is a good place to be. but when you park the politics, which of course, we'll get to in a second, do you also watch open mouthed and think, my goodness, how is this happening? a bit, actually. yeah. so we've got used to lots of political drama in the last few years and it's almost become the norm. but there's something really extraordinary about what's happening to the conservative party at the moment. when borisjohnson fell, i was sitting on a bus in berlin. we'd gone over there to look at what was happ

lisa nandy, the culture secretary, has said she's been in contact with bbc senior management about the from a point of view of whether the bbc�*s internal processes for dealing with complaints is up to scratch is fit for purpose, to use that phrase, that often comes out in situations like this. he was speaking to me a short while ago and more on the bbc website as we continue to file the story. we have some breaking news from france. throughout the morning we have been circulating about what would happen today when the social security budget came before parliament. we are now getting reports that france's prime minister has forced through his budget bill without a vote. now that risks a no—confidence showdown. so he has pushed the social security budget through without a vote in parliament and this threatens the entire government and could see it collapse. we had some concessions being made earlier on today and understand that the prime minister made a last—minute concession and medical payments to try and persuade mps to adopt the measure. rememberthat persuade mps to adopt the measur

the whole thrust of this speech was lisa nandy making a promise to return arts and culture to every corner of the country. that includes schools. looking at the school curriculum, at the provision of music, art, sports, culture. she was saying in communities beyond schools. we know arts funding has been under pressure for some time. lisa nandy making a promise it would not just be the major cities having arts venues or access to arts and culture for the public, she wanted to spread out across the country. worth remembering council budgets in particular are under real pressure and had been for some time. because of growing demand for social care, children's services, temporary housing. often it is councils who fund arts councils in the local area and funding has been reduced and cut. the promise was everybody can access the arts and culture they wanted across the country. we come back to the chancellor talking about the strain on public finances and difficult decisions, we have to see how they plan to implement that and whether it will make a meaningful difference. thank you. we will be bac

lisa nandy is comfortably over the line. she's got 2a so far. clive lewis is really struggling. in that picture. jess phillips has the 22 required. emily thornberry is on ten. keir starmer is the man to beat. he is in front with 68 and the one opinion poll we have seen suggests he is doing well with the labour membership as well. but don't count on anything being guaranteed because, on the far side, we also have rebecca long—bailey, 26 nominations at the moment but she is the preferred candidate on the left of the party, and i would suspect that, once this campaign gets going proper, you will see a lot of work from the left of the party, the membership is more left—wing than it was, a lot of them will get by. clive lewis perhaps will struggle because he has the lowest profile with the exception of lisa nandy who was in the shadow cabinet but resigned. but she has kept her profile up. and is a prominent critic ofjeremy corbyn who has been on the front bench. jess phillips has been very prominent in the media. emily thornberry is a very prominent figure, shadow foreign secretary,

yeah, i think that is significant in the sense that lisa nandy has said she wants further clarity fromny. we understand she wants answers to some important questions, not least the issue of using public money in that way. she's talking about transparency, she wants to find out who made the decisions, when, and what structures and safeguards are in place at the bbc. it was fairly common for previous conservative culture secretaries to call urgent meetings with the director—general when the bbc was facing questions — and lisa nandy�*s team are making clear she isn't politicising the bbc, but it's in the public interest for questions be answered. but it does, of course, add the pressure on the people at the very top of the organisation. and this story is dominating the front pages of thursdays papers — let's take a look at some of them now.

they are weakened mp lisa nandy and the birmingham mpjess are weakened mp lisa nandy and the birminghamred that they will be standing. i think from lisa nandy we can expect to see an emphasis on the so—called labour heartlands, those parts of the country, particularly in the north of england where labour performed unexpectedly badly at the recent general election, she will make a case of somebody representing one of those community she will be especially well—placed to make labour's case to voters there. i think forjess phillips, she is a long—standing critic of jeremy corbyn, so she will be appealing to those members of the labour party who want to see a clean break from the current leadership. she will be arguing that as an independent minded mp she can be the fresh blood that labour now needs to rebuild. of course the slightly strange thing about this konta so far is that the two front runners, the shadow brexit secretary keir starmer and shadow business secretary, rebecca long—bailey, have yet to formally declare that they will be standing. but we do expect them to both declare in t
