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

lisa nandy, one of those saying she will step in. give us those saying she will step in.aign. us your political take on the labour leadership campaignlj us your political take on the labour leadership campaign. i need to say this at the top of this, the daily mirror, quite a key layer in most leadership contest, like the sun is for the conservative contests. we are withholding judgement. we want to listen to all the candidates. what i‘m saying is a personal view. actually, i am quite a strong admirer of lisa nandy. i think she speaks a lot of common sense. she is very rooted in her constituency of wigan. she understands it. her majority went down in the december election. but she compared the neighbouring seats which all fell to the conservatives, she showed remarkable resilience and bucked the trend. so that one bit of a red while held up there. and, you know, she is for deeply about what labour needs to do to reconnect with communities like wigan —— red wall. and all the other ones you can think of. so the downside, the problem she may overcome our she of. so the downsi

and lisa nandy has gone against party opinion on brexit.e with labour. i told her at the time if she brought a bill before parliament that gave a role for parliament in the next stages of the negotiations i would go for it. i was consistent in that all the way through. had she brought that bill, i told her and i told my constituents i would vote for it. when boris johnson finally did, i voted for it. she voted once for borisjohnson's deal, but against in the final version. but back to that passion she's best known for. towns are now the key marginals that will be the central battle ground for the next election. i think the government has started to understand that. i think all political parties have now started to understand that. her love of towns has really taken off in some of the stranger corners of the political internet, but it is a serious one. in 2018 she co—founded a think—tank, the centre for towns, as a response to what she saw as too much concentration on cities in economic policy. that is key to lisa nandy‘s vision for labour.

that lisa nandy had.is the positions that lisa nandy had. she is now shadow levelling up had. she is now shadow levelling up secretary shadow deputy up secretary and shadow deputy prime up secretary and shadow deputy prirwell, deputy prime >> well, so the deputy prime minister is because she's the she's the deputy leader and she was elected. so i think that's quite straightforward. it's absolutely right that that's what he did. the levelling up. i mean, the thing about angela is she levelling up. i mean , she gets levelling up. i mean, she's she's lived through that . she's she's lived through that. >> i think lisa nandy did. >> i think lisa nandy did. >> i think angela probably will do it better. i think angela needs something where she really where she can really get her teeth it. i think she teeth into it. i think she wanted a proper delivery job. the problem with the cabinet office is, is it's quite amorphous. it's about government. interestingly, they've got three people in it to look at government .

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,

we had jess phillips and lisa nandy, both labour mps, fiercely critical of theirs. there are too many people in labour more interested in the party then getting new votes, and lisa nandy saying that labour has lost touch with ordinary voters and their day—to—day experiences. i expect the apology will beg more questions than it answers. and we are hearing more about boris johnson is it answers. and we are hearing more about borisjohnson is plans for government? we have mps coming into london today and tomorrow, a big day on thursday. another queen speech, a big moment for the new government. we already have an idea of the kinds of things we want to expect. this is the cabinet office minister michael gove speaking minutes ago. well, i think what we can expect is a recognition that the national health service is the number one focus of this government, when it comes to domestic policy. we need to make sure the national health service is properly funded and we will be bringing forward legislation to ensure that there is an nhs funding guarantee. that's the first and mos

asi as i say, lisa nandy will bejoining us as i say, lisa nandy will bejoining us in as i say, lisa nandyill bejoining usina as i say, lisa nandy will bejoining us in a few moments. before we talk to her, what are we expecting from keir starmer in the speech? it's very early in the morning and these are strange times we are living in and there will be no delegates there, physically listening to him. he is going to give this speech in doncaster and there is a reason for that. that's right. he wants to get away from london, and he wants to go to parts of the country where labour turned their back on him and jeremy corbyn. let's face it, it's not going to be subtle. you might as well have put up a big label behind him saying i am notjeremy corbyn, talking about new leadership, have another look at us and he feels he has to distance himself from jeremy corbyn‘s leadership and that is what this speech will try to do. people talk about security, patriotism, the country he loves and there are many who feel in the labour party that jeremy corbyn was on the wrong side of the argument and sometimes

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. "edwards fall from grace" splashes the mirror. let's show you that again if we can. it was a bit brief, let's see if we can — nope, we are struggling with our papers. there you go.

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

lisa nandy.u've said i've heard for the last decade and i think brexit was the straw that broke the camels back in ex coalfield communities like mine, but it has been a long time coming. we have to be clear about our values and be honest with people. we want to make deep, transformative change in the country and we believe in public ownership and we should be clear about that. we want compassionate society where we are decent and kind to people, especially people facing adversity and that have difficult lives, but we also need to show a level of respect to people, and when we are asked a question and said it was up to you, we should have been respectful of the answer. i'm somebody who campaigned for remain and wanted to remain and if i'm honest, i want to remain now, but i accepted the fact that we lost the argument and when we promised in 2017 we would leave the european union with a deal, we should have gone and fought for the deal and agreed the deal and got on with it andi agreed the deal and

it would be lisa nandy for me. if in 2020 or 2025, by the next election, that we'll have never had a female leader. what is it you like about rebecca long—bailey? it is the policies. it is entirely the policies. she knows her stuff about how to make policies work. keir is steady and sensible, and i know sensible isn't terribly appealing but i think it's what we need. you know, we've had some pretty mad ideas and a lot of disappointments, really. disappointments all too often have been labour's predicament. choosing a new leader and deputy is a chance, at least, to start to change the mood. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, bury. it's almost a week since iran retaliated after its senior general, qasem soleimani, was killed by an american drone strike. iran fired dozens of missiles at air bases housing us and coalition forces in iraq. one of bases hit was in irbil — and the other at al asad — where our correspondent quentin somerville was the only british journalist to be taken by the american—led coalition to witness the

we have also had lisa nandy joining the race. against it. nandyjoining the race. it is interesting, because park pitch is very different. she is an outside london mp, and the way she is pitching it is not actually for labour to get back into power, they need a leader who is in touch with the ball beyond the m25. yes, others and the race, which hasn't officially started, but other people are making a very different argument. as you mention, lisa nandy been very clear that labour needs to elect a different kind of leader, somebody who is much more in touch with the former heartlands in the north of england and elsewhere, in the midlands, and that can make the case more effectively, that labour is on the site of those people who voted for them in the past and saw them self voting conservative in the last election. jess phillips also on the centre—left of the party, and has criticised jeremy corbyn and the past, setting herself apart as someone past, setting herself apart as someone who past, setting herself apart as someone who comes past, sett

that's right. >> i'm joined by lisa nandy , a >> i'm joined by lisa nandy, a shadow cabinet minister.ou for joining shadow cabinet minister. lisa, thank you forjoining us here thank you for joining us here @gbnews. the reaction is in now to your manifesto. do you worry, though, that you've tied yourselves in so many straitjacket of fiscal discipline that if the economy doesn't grow, you can't find any growth? you're in trouble as a as a party and your plans are in jeopardy if you win power. >> no, not at all. because growth runs through the document through its 128 pages. like a silver thread, you can see it on every page and in every policy. but i make no apology for the fact that we're being careful. it's people's money. they haven't got a lot of it after 14 years of tory government, so everything in it is carefully costed, fully funded . we know costed, fully funded. we know that we can deliver it and at a time when trust in politics and politicians is at an all time low, that is probably the single biggest thing that we could have gifted to the country right now. it's change, but

shadow foreign secretary lisa nandy.sa nandy�*s letter, a spokesperson for the foreign, commonwealth and development office said: today, one of the taliban's most prominent leaders, abdul ghani baradar, returned to afghanistan after years in exile. what do we know about him? well, he was one of the four men who founded the taliban back in 1994, and became a lynchpin of the insurgency after the taliban were toppled by the us—led invasion in 2001. then in 2010 he was captured in a joint us—pakistani raid. but he was released in 2018. it was hoped he would encourage the taliban to engage in peace talks with them. fast forward two years and he signs a deal — not with the afghan government, but with the trump administration. it culminates in the withdrawal of us troops. we know what happens next. the taliban quickly take control of afghanistan. and then, after years in exile, he's finally able to return to the country. the chairman of afghanistan's high council for national reconciliation, abdullah abdullah, has been taking p

the culture secretary, lisa nandy, has tonight called for an urgent meeting with the bbc�*s director—generalndling of the case of huw edwards. earlier today, the former bbc news presenter pleaded guilty at westminster magistrates court to accessing indecent images of children as young as seven. the bbc says it knew he'd been arrested back in november on suspicion of serious offences. at the time, he'd been suspended from duties but was still being paid his full salary, and later received a pay rise. earlier this year, he resigned from the corporation, allowed to leave on his own terms. we'll have more on who knew what and when in the bbc with katie razzall, but first, here's lucy manning. the man who read the news headlines is now in them, in the middle of the jostling cameras and reporters who he would normally have worked alongside, facing serious charges that he accessed indecent photographs and videos of children, including a boy as young as seven to nine years old. no words outside court, but three key ones inside. the former newsreader stood in the dock and, as the counts were read out

from right to left, lisa nandy is comfortably over the line with 24.miling as much as he is in that picture. exactly. jess phillips has the 22 required, so she is fine. emily thornberry is on ten. keir starmer at the moment is the man to be, out in front with 68. the one opinion poll we have seen suggests he is also doing well with the labour membership as well. but do not 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 of many on the left of the party. i would suspect that once this campaign gets going proper we will see a lot of work from the left of the party, the membership is more left—wing than it was in the past, and a lot of them will get behind rebecca long—bailey. clive lewis is the one with the lowest profile, with perhaps the exception of lisa nandi who was in the cabinet then resign, but then she kept following things up with helping towns around the country and was a prominent critic ofjeremy corbyn. jess phillips has been very p
