they also point to questions around rebecca long—bailey plus mag use of membership lists.iley, we understand that there were links circulated to volu nteers there were links circulated to volunteers who had access to the membership database and 13 has said that that was completely innocent. so, there are a lot of questions around the use of databases and this is something that the labour party has said that it has told all of its candidates to be very careful about. and the impact it is having on the contest? it shows that things are getting ugly and as we get close to the 1st of april, the end state, and we find out who the winner is, i think all of the candidates are getting more worried about the outcome. in terms of sir keir starmer, we understand he has been gaining support within the constituency labour parties, including jeremy corbyn's on constituency of islington north, where he was selected over rebecca long—bailey, and there is a sense that it long—bailey, and there is a sense thatitis long—bailey, and there is a sense that it is a very tight race and that it is

lisa nandy rebecca long billy stark there we're going to start from the the outsider to the fever so we'll start with emily thought 100 to one her odds no we're not even sure she'll get to the starting gate in a boat 10 days time what if she added something to this contest in a way it's very surprising that she has struggled to to make a big impact if a year ago i think most political commentators if they were asked who had a real chance of winning the leadership she would have been very much up there. and it appears that what has happened really is that kiss star who will talk about later has basically stolen her constituency before she even had a chance to address it so even though she is well known she has been shadow foreign secretary which is a very senior post in the shadow cabinet. has stood in a prime minister's questions which is a real test of being leader of the opposition. it appears that even almost before the race formally began she didn't have enough of a constituency of support to propel her forward and hasn't really had momentum which is of course a key element of th

people might remember that rebecca long—bailey, who is another of the frontrunners in this race, andorbyn's style of leadership and what have you, that last week it emerged that in terms of her campaign, that they had circulated links to volunteers that would allow them to access membership databases, and her team said that that was innocent, but this seems to be perhaps what sir keir starmer‘s team are alluding to. but it certainly shows that the contest is becoming ugly. what effect is it having on the labour leadership contest?m terms of the contest, the early stages had all of the early candidates showing that they wanted it to be very much a contest that was about bringing the party together. but essentially, when you see the different candidates, all these questions about whether or not they are accessing databases and what have you, it kind of gives a negative flavour to all of it. what we have seen in terms of the two frontrunners, we have four candidates in the race, lisa nandy and also emily thornberry. but in terms of the frontrunners, sir keir starmer and rebecca long—bai

obviously keir starmer is way out in front it looks increasingly difficult for either lisa nandi or rebecca longim 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 campaign is doin

rebecca long—bailey, lisa nandy, sir keir starmer and emily thornberry faced questions about their defeatriorities if they were leader. here's a few moments of the debate, starting with members of the audiences talking about the election. i've been labour all my life and i protect people throughout the north west and i hear the same thing, that you don't listen to them. you've got to get out of your little boxes. your manifesto was an absolute joke, an absolute disgrace. the labour party was literally built off the back of unions. how can you say it should be a centrist party. that doesn't make sense in itself. there is the sort of dilemma writ large. you have to bring those supporters, they are all labour at heart, but on different sides, really. you have to bring them together. tell them why you are the person, emily thornberry, to do that. it's going to be hard after leaving the european union, our economy is going to be challenged and we need to make sure that we make decisions together and that we are as united as we can. for there were many reasons we lost the election, it wasn'tjus

as i've said before, you've put your backing behind rebecca long—bailey.ays, in essence, she thinks corbyn‘s leadership was absolutely great. all the signs are, at the moment, she's not the frontrunner, keir starmer is the clear front—runner. and a lot of unions, unlike yours, have decided to back keir starmer or lisa nandy. and a lot of unions have backed becky. unlike the other unions. sure. this nonsense of attempting to divide the trade unions won't work. the three candidates who were running for leadership are all excellent. well, to be fair, there are four. one isn't getting much traction. and i hope emily gets on the ballot paper, but if she doesn't the three that are on are first class good people, and all of them will lead the labour party properly. and all of them will get my support. but at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, you can only choose one. my union has taken the view that becky is the best place to win back our heartlands and to talk to the rest of the nation about the aspirational views that she has for everyone. this idea

leadership hopeful rebecca long—bailey was asked why this was.l, there were various problems. i think, in terms of the way that we engage with ourjewish community groups, trust broke down. can you hear people in the audience? they are sighing, they are sighing at your answers. exactly, well, i agree that not enough took place and we didn't take the action that was required, but what we need to do now is move on. emily thornberry, when answering a question about homelessness, told the audience the question was personal to her. when i was seven, when my parents split up, we became homeless, and labour councillors saved us and found us a council house on a council estate. and now people come to my surgery in the same circumstances as my mum, and i can't find them a council house. we've gone backwards in 50 years. it is completely wrong. the cost of restoring elizabeth tower, which houses big ben, has risen by more than £18 million. the discovery of extensive second world war bomb damage, pollution and asbestos has pushed up the repair bill tojust un

the three candidates left in the running are sir keir starmer, rebecca long bailey and lisa nandy.t tom barton. we talk of you in the same breath. it is the story you can always run back to because it is still going on and will be for a few weeks yet. labour party members, there is a lot of them, half a million or so, over the next days ballot papers will land on doormats to be filled in and sent off. more of a month —— much more than a month of campaigning to go. the ballot is open until early april. those candidates will be doing what they can to win people's votes. we have keir starmer, he is widely seen as the favourite. the bookies' favourite, giving him an 88% chance of winning. you do not get good odds if you bet on him at the moment! the shadow brexit secretary, closely associated with the labour policy on brexit. rebecca long—bailey is seen as a candidate of the left endorsed by many people close to jeremy corbyn. of the left endorsed by many people close tojeremy corbyn. including jeremy corbyn himself and the unite general secretary len mccluskey. lisa nandy is seen as a

the contest goes forward to the final vote with lisa nandy, sir keir starmer, rebecca long—bailey.monday, and then run till april the 2nd, two days after that, we will get the result of who will face jeremy corbyn's labour leadership. seven weeks ago of this. enjoy. we well, you will give us posted. about how the debates go. someone pointing out it looks if she is not going to be labour leader, perhaps she could sing. a bit of opera. or maybe she is eating an invisible apple. she has thanked those who supported her to the stage, said she wanted to stay on the ballot people that i think there is a sensory has been squeezed between rebecca long—bailey and sir keir starmer, the bookies 88% chance of winning according to them, this now goes to the bookies. because for example sir keir starmer is way out in the lead with 374 local parties backed, actually that doesn't mean every member party turns up, when it comes to raw individual one person one vote, i think there is six or seven weeks campaigning still to go cook. it could go in any direction. thank you very much. sport and for a fu

rebecca long—bailey said she would be prepared to offer jeremy corbyn a place. deal more circumspect. if you can believe it, given that we've been at this for weeks, the ballot is only dropping today. no votes have been cast yet. i'm focused on winning this race and getting as many votes as i possibly can through my argument about unity, effective opposition, and focus on winning the next general election. i have not discussed the shadow cabinet with anybody. and therefore whatever is swirling around, because there are names everywhere. . . ed miliband? it is all rumour. i can tell you i have not had a discussion with anybody on this. it is all rumour. and although keir starmer is the favourite, he has fought what appears to be a pretty cautious campaign, anxious to alienate none of thejeremy campaign, anxious to alienate none of the jeremy corbyn supporters, saying that manifesto ofjeremy corbyn would remain the foundation of his approach and he would not trash mr corbyn's years. you sense he is trying to keep all sides on board. at the same time there has be n

meanwhile, rebecca long—bailey, seen as the main opponent to keir starmer, for the leadership, has access very, very confusing. the broader picture is... can we have a broader picture, please? go on. will keir starmer be the next labour leader? the broader picture is he is leading in the polls. across the constituencies? but a lot —— but among labour party members as well. we will write about jeremy corbyn when people thought that was unlikely because of they are showing keir starmer doing well at the moment. there are still two weeks until the ballots go out but a lot could change was appears clearly the person in addition. and he is notjeremy corbyn‘s favoured air. the person in addition. and he is not jeremy corbyn's favoured air.” am making a plea to the labour party, for goodness sake, stop fighting among yourself. there is a leadership contest, there has to be a contest. can't theyjust realise the damage they are doing? we have a government which has an 80 majority. if there was ever a time that we need the opposition to behave in a way which is less bloodletting and much more bring

we have also, because it's interesting to get to know people a bit more, remember that we asked rebecca longx and a take away with her husband and her son. she said people have accused her of being boring because that's what she likes to do. what do people want her to do, go paragliding? shoplifting? is that what you do? teenage kleptomania?. i didn't. i was thinking like what's a really shocking thing that politicians can admit to doing. should be here from emily thornberry? we asked her what she wa nts to thornberry? we asked her what she wants to do. i quite often take a weekend off and go away and we go to english towns where we've never been to before we stay in the local hotel, go to the municipal museum, we look at quirky things, we go walking, we go visit our local country house. we just spend time with one another and remind each other how we fell in love. awww! i what's all in —— i want saul emily thornberry coming back from the super bowl and she was so weighed down, it was the slowest cycle. —— a supermarket. there's always the people who know the different range available. it's

i think the promo about rebecca long babyis think the promo about rebecca long baby is she is lookinglic for the reasons i've indicated. whether or not lisa or keir starmer will be able to do it i think depends on two things. one they have got to be able to care —— change the character of the party that it is now in order to make it acceptable to a much wider group of people. this is a party that louise ellman who you are speaking to as had to leave because of its anti—semitism. we haven't got much chance of persuading the public unless we can persuade decent people like louise ellman to come back into the party. changing the character of the party. changing the character of the party. changing the character of the party first of all has to happen. and then secondly and separately, we have got to have something to say about what we offer for the future and that involves not saying "let's see if we can ameliorate the damage from leaving the european union. " ameliorate the damage from leaving the european union." it is about what is our vision for the future if that gives people genuin

welcome to the show we feel there's this race for the labor leadership able to form but listen and rebecca long billy and starman there we're going to start from the the outsider to the fever so we start with emily thought 100 to 100 yards no we're not even sure she'll get to the starting gate in a vote 10 days time which is the bit where she added something to this contest in a way it's very surprising that she has struggled to to make a big impact if a year ago i think most political commentators if they were asked who had a real chance of winning the leadership she would have been very much up that.

and they've always voted labor as indeed it did but on the right on top of that alienation they rebecca long bailey who's the corbin east a candidate touted by the mainstream media again. she said progressive patriotism you saw that patriotism as a clue to understanding these last oh yes because what you've got talking to labor voters who deserted us by in large it was the men who do. speaking i'm going to say that and of course a disproportionate of young people in workington because there's not been jobs for years for decades so many of them have spent their time a few years in the army they got a trade there they would call it and there's nothing else nothing else but of course when they go back comb the one thing you know that afghanistan or iraq just doesn't matter they've been there they fought there and it made them even more pottery how to make these super jeremy corbett as. dick a not was the key thing so many labor voters. i believe in their country nothing else to believe. traditionally did nothing to believe in and therefore they were they believed in britain right or wrong some
