lisa nandy, welcome to political thinking. hello.it feel 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 in our — on our own side, and you know, us being the party that isn't going through that, that is unified, and looking out to the country, is a a good place to be. but when you part 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

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

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

. —— nandy. she was talking yesterday. —— nandy. she was talking yesterday. —— nandy.ts be in the end, what the country wants is a labour party that has leader, team, policies and we're not about people who spend the times is obsessing about politics, but people look at them and think, i can imagine you at number 10 butjeremy, iam imagine you at number 10 butjeremy, i am sorry, but they did not. let's look at the travails of left politics. in the us, a form of nationalism and populism propels trump possibly to a second wind. borisjohnson has what trump possibly to a second wind. boris johnson has what floor. trump possibly to a second wind. borisjohnson has what floor. across europe, left of centre progressive are struggling to connect so how are the left of centre politicians and actors and campaigners such as yourself, how are you going to find what is missing? one of the problems we have had with the current labour party is there is always a danger that you address the world as you wa nt to that you address the world as you want to be rather than as it is. this anal

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

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

it'd be lisa nandy for me.on on the labour party 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. disappointment has 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 is 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 sommerville was the only british journalist to be taken by the american—led

but obviously keir starmer is way out in front it looks increasingly difficult for either lisa nandiailey to catch him up. the theory put forward by andrew giese in this piece is he thinks there is still a way that lisa nandi might win if she manages. she gets first and second preferences and voting. laughter. when two. he is saying that if lisa manages to over ta ke saying that if lisa manages to over take rebecca to get in the second place, she could pick up enough of the second preference balance votes from rebecca to then overtake keir starmer and they think that is her path to victory although he says he is still thinks that is unlikely to happen. do you think there is any chance of keir starmer not when?” think, it is very hard to poll labour party members. that's not winning. we don't really know who they are. my husband is going to be voting and we had literature from keirstarmerand voting and we had literature from keir starmer and rebecca long bailey, nothing from lisa. i don't know is that it's just us or suggest a carcampaign is know is that it's just us or suggest a car

_ shadow levelling up secretary lisa nandy was asked by laura kuenssberg if lahour— nandy was asked would back wages going up in line with rising prices. we wa nt we want to see people paid enough money to live on and rewarded very for the contribution that they make but what you are asking me is, not, would we match inflation, you are asking me to commit to a specific number without being involved in the negotiations and seeing the books. we think it is unconscionable that nurses and rail workers that went out this country moving during a pandemic are not being paid enough to put food on the table. we are looking at every single way that we could help with that including the long—term health of the economy and getting more resources very quickly in the first 100 days of a labour government into the national health service by scrapping the non—dom status. there is a problem that people are burned out in the nhs and thatis people are burned out in the nhs and that is compounding the national —— cost of living crisis. we are going to do everything in our means of disposal to help peop

so keir starmer, rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy, and jess phillips will get onto the next stage. only got the backing of four mps. you need 22 to get through. emily thornberry, a prominent person in the shadow cabinet, only has ten as well. when she spoke to andrew marr earlier, she did say she was confident. let's have a listen. can you do it? yeah, i think so. i mean, what has happened has been that we have only had a week to get the nominations in. there is a large number of mps who haven't nominated yet, and many of them have wanted to speak to their party members, they wanted to go to the hustings, and think about this, because obviously it is a really important decision. but from the conversations i have had this weekend, i am fairly confident that as long as i don't get any slippage, i will be fine. i will get across the line, and you know, then we will move onto the next stage. it is a long contest and it will have its ups and downs. and i have been a slow starter, but i did start from a standing start after the general election. now one of the issues that has been discus

corbyn apologises for his part in labour's performance at the general election — as wigan mp, lisa nandy becomes one of those hoping to succeed him as party leader. the reason that i'm thinking about it is because we just had the most shattering defeat where you really felt, in towns like mine, like the earth was quaking and we've watched the entire labour base just crumble beneath our feet. as boris johnson prepares for thurday‘s queen speech, for ——thursday‘s queen speech, the government is to enshrine in law, a commitment to raise spending on the nhs in england. the national health service is the number one focus of this government when it comes to domestic policy. nicola sturgeon renews her call for a second referendum on scottish independence, saying the people of scotland mustn't be kept in the union — against their will. you cannot just lock us in a cupboard and turn the key and hope that everything goes away. in other news, a british man has been killed and his son wounded, after being shot during a suspected robbery, outside a five—star hotel in buenos aires. delegates at un cli

and wigan mp lisa nandy has also joined the race and said the job should go to someone from what she called the neglected areas of labour's heartlands who could win back the trust of the party's traditional voters. political correspondent nick eardley has more. the wigan mp was another one of those people who had said over the christmas period that she was considering whether or not to stand and tonight she is confirmed, in a letter to her local paper, the wigan post, that she is indeed throwing her hat in the ring to be the next labour leader. her argument is that labour needs to focus on winning back its heartlands, areas that had voted labour for decades and stopped doing so back in december. let me just read you one paragraph on what she says. she says, "i'm standing because i know too many people in places like we can no longer feel they have a voice in our national story." basically, she is saying that there are many parts of the country they feel disaffected with westminster politics and the best solution to that is to get someone like her, who has represented one of those are
