- Each of these people think they're the future, but what do they stand for and how will they take on Boris Johnson? (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Just a few days before voting begins to decide the next Labour Party leader, we're in Dudley North. A Labour seat since its creation in 1997, it was taken by the Conservatives in December as the 'Red Wall' came tumbling down.
With us are the candidates to be the next Labour leader: Rebecca Long-Bailey, Keir Starmer, and Lisa Nandy.

Labour lost it years ago when they let Scotland voters drip drip away to SNP. But we the Scottish are never mentioned.
Thats not true. Go find the youtube video of the leadership hustings in glasgow last week. Scotland was at the centre of most questions and answers.
Not much point in mentioning the Scottish, you will be back in the EU soon.
@@19thewanderer what the english will be back in?
The Left used to rise and fall all the time, now with the internet they are finished.
At least they don’t get to the point of war to feed themselves anymore.
The funny part is Obama and Clinton are Right Wing to Europeans, Republicans are the real Right Wing lol.
@@Pathogen1984 But Scotland is only ever used for social experiments, for example, Thatcher's much-hated poll tax. I would support the SNP if they were consistent with the meaning of independence. They don't want to be ruled from Westminster but are OK with being told what to do by Brussels, which is even less democratic!!
I quite like Keir Starmer tbh, but the man just struggles with connecting with people. He comes across as a decent person, but he’s just too shy and dull. If he manages to spark up a bit he could be another Tony Blair. If he goes on like this he could be another Ed Miliband. His leadership (cause he will win) will be very interesting.
Lisa Nandy is a boss, but she’s not gonna win unfortunately. She understands how the party must change and why it must change and she speaks with conviction and confidence. Most importantly she connects with people. She understood that people voted to leave and unlike the rest of the party she didn’t flip on the position and call for a second referendum. I hope she runs for leader in the future, maybe when she’s a bit older and more experienced in the shadow cabinet and committees, when she rises up a bit in the party, I think she’d make a great future leader.
Long Bailey is actually quite surprising to me. She’s made the fatal mistake of chaining herself to a leader who’s incredibly unpopular and led the party into the worst election defeat in 80 years. She’s hard left candidate, and the public have made it clear they don’t want that rn. But she’s actually an incredibly good speaker and charismatic like Nandy. She comes across as incredibly intelligent and I didn’t realise she was a lawyer like Starmer. She cud be valuable in the shadow cabinet but not as a leader.
great analysis
I agree, I think that people see him as a cross between Tony Blair and Ed Miliband. You have to be able to connect with people to be leader and I think that Keir will.
She's a solicitor , Starmer had a harder job but all of them are worthy candidates. There's only a few people that could win a general election in labour . The problem now is if someone like Sunak came in against Starmer then I'm worried that labour would loose again and I think the only person to get labour on track then would be David Miliband.
Hannamarie15 why a cross between those 2 specific guys? Why not Gordon brown
Hannamarie15 your comment just shows it’s not who you are and what you 5ink, it’s how you come across and appear that matters. I can’t believe you’d want David miliband to lead the party. The era of centrist politics is over.
To everybody who hates Labour and loathes all these candidates - why precisely are you watching, again?
Cinderball because they’re going to be leading the Labour Party and we’re probably curious as to what they’re putting forward and how they’re going to lead the party.
@@jamiengo2343 But folks like you keep telling me that Labour can never win, that all these candidates are incompetents. Why are you so scared of people that you don't believe can win the election?
Lol
@@cinderball1135 they can't win these people.. but it's interesting to watch their performances
Cinderball could you point to when I’ve said that
It feels like they're candidates on the Apprentice
Potentially the first week where two get fired?
👍 🤣 👍 😂 👍 🤣 👍 😂 👍
And Boris is a school boy
And who is Allan Sugar?
That question regarding Carolins Flack was disgraceful.
I totally agree (as a father of a daughter that took her own life). It was a shocking question that had nothing to do with the Labour leadership or the subject in focus here!
Lisa Nandy was doing well until she fell into the "how will we pay for it trap". This is moronic, and at that point she lost me.
I do not trust Nandy. She has no idea what the labour party stands for.
Lisa Nandy lost me when she implied on GMTV that white people can't comment on racism.
I had to watch that part again, but I thought she handed that well. You do have to be honest and upfront about raising taxes. And she was sensible enough to want a discussion of raising taxes, as opposed to proposing it outright prior to any debate.
@@caitiff52 My problem is that she raised it as an issue. One of the jobs of the next Labour leader is to move the debate on this forward in public discourse. UK Government spending is completely different from households, and you do not need to balance a budget or show how they will be paid for in "income and expenditure" terms. MMT in the states is showing that the relationship between the state and money is totally different than how it is portrayed in political discourse. Any Labour leader needs to show that they can handle this differently. At this point Nandy was evoking the "Tory" elements of Tony Blair's Labour Party, which isn't a policy set I believe will work today.
@@caitiff52 Sorry, but I will definitely concede that Lisa Nandy has probably performed the best in these debates; very good at sharp, subtle responses that differentiate her from the others. Smart stuff.
Keir came across as a leader not just using soundbites but no one really outstanding or stood out above the the others.
Starmer worked for the DPP, so is comfortable using words to put across a point. His experience in that department exposed him to the world in which live real people.
However, all three of them betrayed the British people when they voted to cripple the Brexit negotiating team, by denying the option of walking away from a bad deal. That treachery was part of the reason Labour were crushed so comprehensively in the UK's General Election.
Regardless of which of these three assume the job of Labour leader, they will be viewed always as traitors, by the people they need on-side if Labour is ever again to pose a credible threat to the Tories grip on government.
@@kasegiyabu5030 couldn't agree more good post stay safe
kasegi Yabu Nandy didn’t though. She strongly criticised the leadership for supporting a second referendum and was very vocal in her view that the party should respect what the country voted for in 2016.
@@GoogleUser-lk6xn This article allows you to see how MP's voted to deny 'no deal' to the negotiating team : www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47562995 . Nandy voted for the motion, meaning she was in favour of screwing with the negotiations. When she called for Labour to "respect what the country voted for" she was obviously on manoeuvres. She is a traitor.
Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic i'm afraid.
Brexit is the main reason why Labour lost, add the vilification of Corbyn to that and you will see why we lost
I loved seeing their frustration at the format of the debate, why does anyone use TV anymore
If this is the best we have then the Labour Party will remain the opposition for the next 20 years
Who is the best then? Racist Conservative!!!!!
lol u just a conservative voters all of the time. Whoever man/woman lead the Labour Party, u will always saying the same thing repeatly
Suits me fine, as an ex Labour voter.
Is this the most uninspiring political event of the last few years to grip the editing floor ?

Pathetic questions and pathetic answers
Lib Dems were lonely at the bottom, well...Labour is slowly joining them.
Good debate, thanks.
Great show
CH4, CH4 audience & The Labour Party, you know this is going to be tedious.
I take that back after listening to this. Apologies.
I’ve always thought Rebecca wrong- daily was a fool, when she said she would like to have a “Queen Meghan” then I was convinced !
Why are you taking this seriously, she was obviously joking around.
The question is pointless and a distraction from what needs to actually be discussed. She likely has no interest in this issue.
Opto Mister Lisa Nandi said that! And no, she was not joking, how effing predictable, from her. She will probably win. Her qualification In the present P.C climate? She is a woman, and of a minority identity.
Yes, my town voted leave but it wasn't solely about labour looking as if they were trying to overturn the referendum result that led to the end of thier 80+ years in power in our constituency.
My employer is in admin and it wasn't just the possible 7k direct job losses that would occur from it cease trading but also an additional 23k in the town that rely on my employer for thier trade. We had buyers lined up but they became tired and disinterested by the brexit limbo caused mainly by labour mps, our local mp at the time being one of them, who voted against every brexit deal put forward. The buyers didn't care which side of the fence we came down on so long as as a country we came off the fence. Then, either way, leave or remain, we would be bought and our jobs be safe.
Whether you agree with leaving or not, at least it was a decisive decision which has most likely saved these jobs before the current potential buyer could become bored with further brexit extensions.
I and my colleagues will never forget the panic that my former Labour mp and his friends of the derail and delay with a second vote camp have caused us.
@@stuartfitch7093 Thank you for your comment, I work in retail and we have had to cut jobs and make poor decisions with stock because of all these "potential" brexit dates. I'm from Scotland and the SNP have gained a massive boost from this mess.
"Rebecca wrong- daily" excellent! The silly tart STILL drones on about the MEEJAH being the problem as if the whole population reads the Sun or Mule or Brexpress,
Disappointing to hear about their viewpoints of the legalisation of marijuanna
Eh, Starmer gave the right answer in my view (if you hope for legalisation). I wouldn't be surprised if he legalises it a year or two into his first term for some extra cash.
Did anyone actually watch this when it was on?
Labours new slogan "down with the bad, up with the good." I'm not from UK, but damn these guys want to lose another election.

Specialist in failure
The late great John Smith used to command the floor of the house of commons. William Haig 2013. This lot not a chance.
@Matt It's a quote from him.
@Matt You could at least have spelled his name correctly.
Tell you what though, they're a bit better than the shower we had in 2015 that Corbyn beat.
@Lenna Smith They're worse, they're tailoring their answers to questions posed by the left, channel 4, Guardian, Independent and Daily Mirror, BBC et al agendas, which have nothing to do with 95% of the rest of the population if you exclude London..
@Lenna Smith Yes Lenna. There's only one type of socialist and that's Tankie.
@@desydukuk291 They're trying to influence the Labour party membership. This isn't a general election campaign. I shouldn't need to spell that out to a grown-up.
Wow...they haven’t learnt anything.......
When the inevitable same rhetorical questions get trotted out the inevitable same rhetorical answers will surely follow. Regardless of the questioner. Regardless of the questionee.
So nothing wrong with the policies and they want to be united. Rara
I am voting for the Jamaican granny!
@@fred8696 It's true though?
so who you lot want to win? 🤔🤔
YakChat Heart would like a female leader. Head wants Keir. The most credible, stable and reliable to appeal to non-Labour voters. Most statesmanlike and experienced. And the one I think to unite the party.
nepotism finished the labour party that shows a contempt for the electorate, Tory nepotism was bad enough and did labour use to make a big issue of it, and then they did it.
How luv'ly to see 3 people with principles, courage, and more importantly, a moral compass. Rebecca is my favourite, because she is extremely smart, loyal and has incredible principles. But any one of these 3 MP's in the Labour party would be leagues ahead of Boris, especially in the wake of the Corona Virus lock down.
Everyone, found Rebecca’s burner account
I liked the last question on Palestein, I was concerned on how vague the candidates were being on the idea of standing up for Palestinians without being anti semitic because this has been conflated until Rebecca Long Bailey gave a strong answer and mentioned conflation and the suffering of the Palestinians.
This is the stance I wanted.
I wished Starmer could have done the same, I don't know if I consider him a pass or fail on whether he can divide anti semitism from criticism on Israel, it would help me get behind him if I knew, I think he has done mostly well though.
I am ranking my desire for who I want to see as leader as: Rebecca Long Bailey, Keir Starmer, >>>>>>> Lisa Nandy, not a fan of her, I think she will damage the party.
Buddy, you may be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, eager to help those downtrodden masses, but Labour is not the way. They will lose the next election and be out of power for the next 10 years. You will waste your life, youth and enthusiasm, waiting for them to come into power to effect change. If I were you and wanted to help the 'downtrodden masses' I would join the conservative party and try to fix policies from within. Boris is keen to promote social causes to keep the Left on board. Now is the time to push for 'sure start' type policies that actually help people not just virtue signal how 'right-on' and 'pure' you are while achieving nothing with Labour. It is up to you, virtue signal pointlessly or join a real political party and make things happen. I will guess which option you choose :)
Corbyn , long Bailey, Dianne Abbott, Emily thornberry,, dawn butler,Owen jones ,Angela rayner........until you get rid of these of no hopers you will never be elected
Massive amount of time expended on Caroline Flack and Trans gender rights, KGM trying to trip them up. Not mainstream problem with decimated industrial and neglected Northern areas; lack of opportunity and reduced Public services and austerity.
Having watched this debate, has any of them persuaded you to vote labour next time? I think I know the answer.
Labour are too PC that’s the issue.
@Albert Pike Rubbish shitpost, Al. Bad Putinbot!
@Albert Pike Rubbish shitpost, Al. You are "infamous for" that.

They are Anti British they are anti anyone who questions them over anything hounding people Branding people and hating slandering the working Class, how many times since 2016 have labour party members leaders MPs called the working class electrate Stupid and thick, they call the pensioners stupid and bigoted. The new wave of socialist party members within labour believe that the pensioners shouldn't even have the right to vote, just look back over the last 3 years of the momentum Antifa and Corbynist cult followers an the way they have hounded people right across the social media and mass media outlets throughout the country they turned away Scared away hounded away most of there own voter's
Rather than listening to there views
they just outright screamed over the top of them on any TV or media debate your a Racist your a bigot your a facist,
Rather than have a a back and forth debate,
They look and sound like Crazed bunch of lunatics it is no wonder the electrate turned away from them and if they carry on down this road they will be left with a minority party.
@@123benley Out of curiosity, what makes any of them anti British? I haven't seen any of them call the working classes stupid racist or thick. I've certainly seen arguments amongst various sections of society taking lumps out of each other and calling each other all of the above and much worse. Labour has always been a socialist left leaning movement. The NHS, social housing, trade unions, the welfare state. They're all socialist ideals, and if you take issue with any of those organisations or ideals then I would suggest that you're the one who is anti working class.
"With us, the candidates to be the next *former* Labour leader."
One almost wants to shout in CAPS: you lost because of Corbyn. Elect Corbyn 2 and you lose again.

@@adrikhankant6170 I think it is unlikely that a country as important as the The UK in 2020, would vote a leader of a major party that was neither skilled *nor* able to engage, inspire or command the attention of the voting public.

Well, that's 45 minutes of my life that I'll never get back!
Labour needs someone like Paul Embery to take charge in my opinion.
They just can't let go of corbynism
What even is that?
@@KarakuraNinja Corbyn's worldview and political philosophy - which has been judged a complete failure by the British public.
But the Labour party can't let go of it because Socialism destroys the facility to reason. Corbynism was ideologically pure Socialism - therefore how can any of the candidates renounce any of his manifesto without implicitly renouncing Socialism?
How do you become a pure socialist?
I never saw him say let's get rid of the free market and competition. I just remember him mentioning failed markets/monopolies that are utilities for houses and railways, that was as far as his socialism went.
@@milanmilutinovic9922 You can always tell when someone has bought into the propaganda. All his "socialist" policies existed long before Corbyn. Corbynism is a propaganda tool, and you bought one.
Your line "Corbynism was ideologically pure Socialism" proves it. You even said "pure" socialism not just socialism. If it's pure socialism then it's socialism, why call it Corbynism?
It's like calling bread Johnism because John eats bread.
I need to stop being surprised at how effective propaganda is.
It's not socialism, it's propaganda that destroys the ability to reason. In fact, unlike socialism, that's one of it's primary functions.
It's abundantly clear that the majority of the Labour membership had no problem accepting "Corbynism", or socialist policies. The 2017 election was the most successful Labour campaign since the Blair era. Working class communities, mining communities and long-time Labour strongholds would not abandon the promise of a national living wage, the creation of 400,000 Eco-friendly industrial sector jobs, the creation of IFO's which provide all workers with dividend payments of up to 10%, the possibility of exploring a UBI and the consolidation of workers rights.
The results of the 2017 GE proves this. Labour need to embrace socialism if they expect any electoral success. The Independent Group contained MPs that existed virtually uncontested in their seats before their defection. Mike Gapes, for example, won a majority of 43,000 votes in 2017, but won only 3,000 votes in 2019.The same goes for Gavin Shuker in Luton South and Chris Leslie in Nottingham East.The point being that Labour votes who disagreed with the prevailing view of the Labour party and who sought a more central position could have defected, kept the same MP with the same views, but they didn't.
Labour voters fled to the Conservatives because they were the party that didn't promise another divisive referendum, they had a clear leader who appeared to command the respect and support of the party and who, unlike the Labour party, were not targeted by the newspapers and online media for their institutional racism.

Thank God Emily Thornberry is out of the race. Bad enough RLB is still there.
True. But they're all bad.
Nonetheless, YouGov also suggested a Starmer win by 63% to 37% if there was a final run-off against Long-Bailey. Labour members may yearn for everything the 2019 manifesto promised, with no painful choice of priorities, but after four miserable defeats they are ready to bend. Only 14% would make no compromises on Labour values to make the party more electable.

@@kojames2561 They don't. You're confusing Economic and Social Left/Right.
Labour best performance since 2005 was in 2017, when it leaned *Economic Left.* 1.1 million Labour voters went to Lib Dem because of Remain, *splitting* the vote and giving the Conservatives more seats. The Labour voters that went Conservatives still support *Economic Left* politics, they just dislike the *Social* Left politics, they prefer the Right-wing on *social issues* like immigration, defence and crime.

If these three candidates are the best Labour got to be their leader, they are in bigger trouble they think. With their policies and quality of their future leader , they will never get voted in government again. This will be a disaster for British democracy and the British people.
Waste of time debating, the next credible leader has not been born yet
When I was born the Conservatives were in power, and I have no doubt when I die they will be in power, This country has always been Conservative with a small c, and always will be, something Labour fail to grasp, and Diane Abbott is the gift that keeps on giving to the Tories, no doubt they will award her when she retires for keeping them in power for so long.
Indeed, the only time Labour has won power in my lifetime was when they pretended to be Tories in 1997. And it's the only way they'll win power again, though its doubtful the UK electorate will fall for it again.

The working people of the country (i live in the north of england, from a working class background) did not like Corbyn's indecisiveness on Brexit and cloud cuckoo land on economics. Invest in the country, but do not nationalise everything just because you think central state planning is better. Also if you do spend astonishing amounts of money on something, do it for a future benefit. A space program, a infrastructure project. That's ambitious. Renationalising water, gas, electricity and rail just isnt, thats staring back into the 60's and wishing to be there again.
@@capitaoprice6463 Boris Johnson is a dictator that's why Sajid Javid resigned because Boris or Dominic Cummings was dictating who he can have as his advisers. Boris has no time for people who disagree with him he just wants yes men & woman who support everything he says & does & anyone who disagrees can take a hike. Also I don't see how renationaliseing is going back to the 60's, I suppose your happy that we're being ripped off by private companies profiting from our once public services.
@@MrRailjunkie So what you're saying is, Boris Johnson who was elected by the public, is a dictator because he is leading his cabinet. Whether you agree or disagree with what he did is not my concern, I am not a natural Tory, I am a centrist liberal who believes in good economics and socio-democratic public policies. But if you are, as I suspect, left of field. Why are you complaining about Javid resigning? You do realise the treasury of Tory governments has in the past been the road block to more public spending. If you want more investment, then you wanted him gone. Remember Boris, although it's absolutely nonsensical to call him facist, or a dictator at that, he is infact populist. He will do as the people want to keep popularity.
In addition to that, as much as Dominic Cummings seems as if he's a villain. He infact is a genius when considering this. He wants to broaden Whitehall's perspective to the north, invite in ambitious and new talent, and see what results from it. Surely you must agree that it's a good thing to bring in the best and most imagination. You may not like the man, I don't really. I wanted to stop in the EU. But you cannot fault him for wanting to change the status quo for everyone.
On privatisation. Personally I don't see where you're coming from. I do think the NHS is under funded, but that isn't due to privatisation, unless you want to complain about PFI agreements. Having everything ran from the state doesn't improve standards. If you have 5 companies competing for contracts and services, they will undercut each other on price and trump quality, that's just common sense. Partly the reason why rail doesn't see that benefit is due to the atrocious lack of funding in infrastructure, which doesn't make sense at all.
Call it what you want. But you lose the argument when you throw phrases which are just not fitting. If you start to call Boris Hitler or a dictator, then the next Labour leader will have hardcore Tories call them Leninist or trokyites. Be realistic.
@@capitaoprice6463 I never called Boris Hitler & Hitler was elected too not every dictator is like Hitler. Also I would like to see the entire Tory party wiped of the face of the earth.
Where's David Miliband ? 😂
Why haven't Labour realised that the only time they were successful was when they were new Labour? ... Corbynism evokes the bad old days of inefficiency, strikes, power cuts etc.
The British people are aspirational and want the opportunity to get on... They're not jealous of other people's success and want a government that puts us first. We want this obsession on identity politics and woke social justice nonsense ending. So we're all treated fairly regardless of gender or skin colour. Giving certain groups special treatment is unfair and causes resentment.
More of this and Conservatives will rule forever, thank you labour politicians.
From Stoke, a red wall seat Labour lost. Leave means to leave especially with regards to the customs union mainly due to the migrant crisis. Labour would not deliver on that, in the process disrespecting their core voters wishes. This green new deal is hogwash, and the woke culture is dreadful. These three would not get my vote back in a month of Sundays.
What "migrant crisis"? The main migration phenomenon with Stoke is talented people leaving Stoke because there aren't many jobs there - and that has nothing to do with people migrating to the UK.
WHatever mate. As said to the other guy, this is the Labour party. We tend to work-together with-others here, which is why it is more Remainy in general. SO go and join Ukip and worship your idea that the EU causes all of these problems for you!

Sorry it was a bit hard on the 3 stooges
This Corbyn bashing is just ridiculous. We had an honest, caring leader and Nandy throwing him under the bus saying he didn't come across for the people is just ridiculous. He had hoards, literally hundreds following him wherever he went. What other politician has that popularity? None!
Why would Putinbotz get all snappy because someone mentions ATAD?
You should look into what that is, and how ATAD taxes on offshore fortunes would have reduced your tax bills!

“I’m rubbish at these yes no questions” don’t need to tell us twice... We’re reminded of this incompetence for all politicians daily
Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
Ian Webster .... How enlightening
@@jamiengo2343 This is a well known fallacy, and Ian was calling it out. If you don't know what he's talking about, you gotta read more. :)
Cinderball wait I’m confused
@@jamiengo2343 You were mocking the politicians for rejecting yes-no questions. Ian Webster gave you an example of a question where, if you are restricted to *only* answering "Yes" or "No", you will be incriminating yourself.
It's called a leading question, and it's something that journalists often use to create headline-grabbing soundbites. They ideally want to catch a politician saying something outrageous, or at least which can be interpreted more aggressively than the politician ever intended.
Ian's example is the classic example used to illustrate the problem. Whichever answer you give, you will be validating his assertion that you beat your wife.
Jeremy where are you ?
Unknown - Corbyn: I’m hiding inside Rebecca 😀🤪😃🤪😄🤪
RLB wants to reindustrislise. How is this going to happen when Labour are committed to the mad green agenda. You cannot make steel without burning coal. Just what are these new industries going to be making?
well, that was a pretty disappointing debate. C4 isn't anywhere as good as the BBC on politics.
