Jan 31,2022 4:21 am

to succeed

candidates in the hope that Jeremy Corbyn , a Labour leader in question, The Party Manifesto decisions, while the opening lines of separation on the UK's EU-exit.

Sir Keir Starmer , said the Election was overloaded, while both Lisa Nandy and Jess Phillips said, the voters are free to promise the trust of its cost of broadband.

Ms Phillips also said she would not exclude the possibility of reintegration in the EU, if Brexit turned out not to be a success.

She Said she would not change her view that the UK was "better" in the EU.

Sir Keir and shadow foreign Minister Emily Thornberry - both strong advocates of a further referendum before the Election , said Labour's focus as an opposition should act now to ensure Boris Johnson , The Best of the economic and trade partnership with the EU.

Five candidates, including Clive Lewis , so far, the race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn joined.

labour's ruling body will meet on Monday to decide the schedule for the Election . Would-be candidates are nominated, the More Than 20 members and must also have the support of at least 5% of the electorate of the parties, or three connected Bodies - Two of which are unions.

Shadow business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey is also expected to officially announced their candidacy, declare in the next few days.

The competition was announced after Mr Corbyn, he would defeat as a leader after work, a hard choice.

Both Sir Keir and Ms Phillips told the BBC's Andrew Marr , The Party turned to the lessons of defeat and why some many of the seats previously rock-solid labour in The Midlands and the North of England, to the Conservatives.

Sir Keir said the Manifesto was part of a series of "cumulative" factors that eroded confidence to concerns about The Party 's policies, his leadership and his record of the Leak about the fight against anti-Semitism.

"There is a General feeling was that the Manifest was loaded. We lost confidence in the Labour Party as a force for good and a force for change," he said. "After four Election losses, we have to address, immediately. "

But he warned labour against "unpicking" The Last Manifesto, when it focuses on his offer to voters in five years. He also said that it would be wrong to "retreat" from Mr Corbyn's focus on the removal of disparities and the protection of public services.

While not the sole reason for their defeat, Ms Phillips also, the Manifesto identifies what have also agreed to bring the railway, post, water and energy in public ownership and expand The Role of The State in new areas such as one of Labour's weak points.

"The fundamental thing is that the country will have to govern a trust in us," She Said . "She has no confidence on the things we said. "

Rebecca Long-Bailey is expected to join the race

Although there was a good reason for nation-alising of the railway and ending private involvement in The Prison and probation services, it proposed that the fight against social problems such as homelessness and social care, were of deep-seated important, as The Public control of the most important utilities.

"We lost it on some of the basics. My son goes to school Five Days a week. Many people can give in the country, you are your own example. While that was the case, offers free broadband was simply not credible. "

The Birmingham Yardley MP of The Party said must cease to be obsessed with faith wars and internal positioning and talk honestly to the people.

"people feel a connection With Us again. The people have the feeling that we are on your side. "

Ms Nandy also distanced himself from the broadband promise, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar politics: "people said to us, 'It's all very well promising free broadband-but can you sort the buses?" and that was the important topic in your life. It is not a question of whether it is radical or not, about whether or not they are relevant. "

Escape

Ms Thornberry said Labour had to allow the wrong, to fight the Conservatives, the Election to the "only Problem" of Brexit.

Sky News said that the opposition, and the focus should now be on ensuring the UK had a relationship with Europe in the coming years, the go "to work, the jobs and the economy".

Sir Keir, who like Ms Thornberry, a supporter of a referendum was proposed, the question of EU membership was now closed, and The Party must Remain on from an argument between and go.

she Asked whether they would support, as a leader, the UK said back in the EU, Ms Phillips, it would be useful to "wait and see".

"If we live in an absolute Paradise of the trade and completely safe in The World . then I will be perhaps proved to be wrong. But if the reality is, if Our Country is to be safe and economic, in the EU, I want to fight for that regardless of how difficult the argument. "

The candidate was also pressure on the British relations with the United States after the assassination of the Iranian Supreme military leader Qasem Soleimani in Iraq.

Ms Phillips said people were "not to shed no tears" over the Iranian general's death, and, while you are against the war in Iraq, you would always have the support of the deployment of British forces abroad, if there is a "moral case" for him.

"What we need to Make sure that, if we take action, it is lawful, proportionate and there is a moral case for it. If these questions can be answered, then I would have to take measures for the protection of British life. "

But, Sir Keir said, you should find that the United Kingdom never to follow yourself in The Position of "blind Americans".

When he was Prime Minister , he said he would rewrite to pass laws, the ability of governments to take military action. He suggested that it would have had to pass three tests - if it was allowed, was supported by the Parliament and was part of a workable Plan
