you.

you. LIAM: Are we ready for some

more?

Thank you very much to everyone for coming back, I was hoping

that we would

get a really good crowd back and that too many of you haven't

just gone to the

pub, which I think my dad has done, which I was tempted to do,

I tried to ring him but I think he is two pints deep. Is he

happy. We had a good debate this morning for

the leadership hustings, it was very camaraderie and friendly

and lively so the pressure is on guys to play nice.

The 40-second rule we brought in in the earlier event seemed to

work quite well, so initially for the first questions we want

a 40-second answer and I will be hurrying you along when that

comes to a close. Then, after a certain number of

questions, we will move to a two-minute

final summation, which will close the show. So, we have been

going back through

questions, we tried to vary things up, because this is a

different role and

tried to focus on people who are very specific about deputy

leadership questions.

These are the things I have have been told to say, that I have to

say. Candidates drew lots half an hour ago to decide which will

stand at which podium. The results mean that Angela Rayner

will go first, followed by Dawn Butler,

Richard Burgeon, Rosena Allin Khan and, Ian Murray. If you

could keep on top of that, that

would be great, because numbers are not

my thing, or just basic logic. So each question will be asked

to every candidate, when the candidates come out we will have

no open statement and no candidate will be permitted to

interrupt

or heckle their owe poniesent, but a bit of light banlter is

helpful. If you want to dive in and say things

that is fine, but keep it nice and friendly. Shall we start?

My first question is from Jennifer Corcoran in Southport.

In front row, very brave! It's not a stand up gig. What key

message from your campaign can

I deliver on the door step to inspire our voters old and new.

So it's about the key message of what you want to bring to the

position that Jennifer can deliver on the doorstep.

ANGELA: Thank you for your question, I

did visit Southport during the General Election campaign and

the key message is utilising every inch of our movement, our

fantastic movement, energising and bringing it together to sell

what socialism is about, what the Labour movement is about,

that is our greatest thing and that is reaching our full

potential as a movement and making sure that everyone can do

that.

I think, actually my role and my back story talks about how we

can unify the party to make sure we get behind our leader and we

win the next General Election because I can't think we can

wait any longer.

(APPLAUSE).

LIAM: Excellent timekeeping, Dawn, same question to you, what

key message from

your campaign can be trifr delivered on the door step to

inspire voters old and new.

DAWN: Whenwe can wait any longer. (APPLAUSE).

LIAM: Excellent timekeeping, Dawn, same question to you, what

key message from your campaign can be trifr delivered on the

door step to inspire voters old and new.

DAWN: When I knock on the door what I want people to say is

"oh, yes I know

what Labour has delivered for us, Labour has delivered locally

and a metro mayor or a crime commissioner and Labour will

deliver to us from Government." Labour has made my life better,

my

family's life better, my children and grandchildren's

life better. I want people to understand that socialism is

about aspiration, it's about making sure you have a solid

foundation in your life, that we build your life, we make you

better, we are a part of you and that nobody gets left behind.

When I knock on the doors that is what

I want to hear them say to me. LIAM: Thank you, Dawn. The same

question to you, Richard. RICHARD: Thank you very much,

Jennifer for that question.

I will be on the door step with you as

a campaigning deputy leader. I want a people-powered campaign

so I

want to strengthen our campaign and message by focussing on ten

key policies in partnership with the members and the Trade Unions

to sell on the door step. I remember when I joined the

Labour Party back in the mid 90s being very

taken by the way John Prescott used the

role of deputy leader as a campaigning role.

I see it in the same way, not a leader in waiting, not a

mischief leader in waiting but a team player working for

all of you to get Labour back into Government.

LIAM: Ian, are you going to be a mischief maker.

IAN: Certainly not, but I want to speak

to Jennifer about how she managed to get the Labour vote

up 7% in the last election, because my main message about

standing for deputy leader is to go out and stand in the seats we

won and lost and the seats we will never win and listen to the

public and reflect on what they are telling the Labour movement

on what we have to do to get into Government.

We have a Conservative majority, it's a disaster, the only way we

can transform

the country and places like south port is to listen to what

the public are telling us, change it and get us back into

the Government so that the people of Southport get the

Labour Government they deserve. The first stop is to listen to

the seats that we won and lost and listen to

people like Jennifer who managed to put

up the Labour vote up by 7% for Liz Savage in Southport.

LIAM: Thank you. Rosena, what about your key message?

ROSENA: Thank you very much, Jennifer and thank you everyone

for being here today. My key message are of hope and unity.

As the daughter of a single mum who had to work three jobs to

put food on the table, as a mixed race child, growing up

in poverty under Thatcher and Major I was written off. The

Labour Party believed in me, I am

the embodiment of what can happen when the Labour Party

believes you in you, I now work as a doctor in our NHS. I want

to knock on doors and say the Labour Party believes in you,

our future generations, let's join together,

rebuild from the grassroots and rebuild organisational capacity

and take the

fight to the Tories and show future generations through hope

and unity we believe in them too. (APPLAUSE).

LIAM: So, this was a very popular question and I am making

no further remarks about it. It is how would you support the

leader and how would you overcome any differences?

That is from Elaine owe Callaghan in Liverpool. We will

start one on that one, Dawn. DAWN: Thank you for that.

So, look, people talk about unity, but I have walked the

walk of unity. It's great that everyone is talking about being

united but I have walked that walk, I have served under two

Labour Prime Ministers and they don't come around that often,

but we need to get us back there again and we need a Labour

Government and I have served in the Shadow Cabinet.

I will never, ever join a coup, because

nobody votes for a a disunited party. It's a united party that

wins elections, so don't just talk about

unity,

let's show unity, let's show it and so I will take us to the

finishing line and

we will have another Labour Prime Minister.

LIAM: Richard, same question to you, how would you go back

supporting the lead what if there were differences between

the two of you. RICHARD: Well, whoever wins

leadership election, whether it's Becky who I am supporting

in this campaign, whether

it's Emily, Keir, Lisa or Jess, I will be a team player, lacer

focussed on working with and for them to deliver a Labour

Government.

We have to support our elected leader, I was under great

pressure to do the wrong thing, which was wrong for the party

when people were trying to get rid of our elected leader, I of

course refused to go along with that and I am

proud I took the position position. The Labour Party has

always been a broad coalition of socialists like myself, social

Democrats and Trade Unions, it needsgreat pressure to do the

wrong thing, which was wrong for the party when people were

trying to get rid of our elected leader, I of course refused to

go along with that and I am proud I took the position. The

Labour Party has always been a broad coalition of socialists

like myself, social Democrats and Trade Unions, it needs to

remain like that, as Howard Wilson says "a bird needs two

wings to fly" and we can fly together, turn around this

defeat and get back

into Government at the next election.

LIAM: Ian, how do you see that role.

IAN: Well the role of deputy leader is to support the leader

of the party and not only that but the entire Labour movement.

I have already pledged as one of my five pledges to be the voice

of the Trade Unions, the affiliates and societies that

are part of the Labour family and to be their voice in the

Shadow Cabinet and to the leader. I also think the role is

to organise, organise, organise and get the party into a fit

state in the country to take the policies forward and take the

views of not just the leader but the entire Labour movement

forward. I think there is one thing that is critical in that

is to be a critical friend of the leader.

In times gone by every single leader of the Labour Party has

surrounded themselves with everyone who agrees with them

and I think you need to be a critical friend to reflect the

voice of the Labour movement and take that forward so we can have

a strong

leadership team. LIAM: And you, Rosena, in terms

of differences and also working together with the leader.

ROSENA: The number one role of the deputy leader is to support

the leader. I fundamentally believe that and

actually I am the only

the only deputy leader who hasn't nominated a cand dealt

because I will work with anyone. We haven't been as united as we

could have been and should have been at leadership level.

I have been proud to serve on Jeremy's

front benchs but I had to take some tough decisions about

Brexit, but I picked up the phone and I am honoured to call

him a friend and I said it whats I need to do, will you support

me on that. It's always been respectful because the only way

to go forward is to unite and walk the walk and not just talk

the talk at a leadership level.

LIAM: Everyone is sticking nicely to the

time frame, also found my dad over there. He is back from the

pub. I was keen to make a few of the other

questions we selected to the relevant.... I told you I

couldn't remember the

order of things, sorry, Angela, same question to you, apologies,

how do we see the role in terms of working with

the leader and potentially ironing out differences?

ANGELA: Well, I think you can't be a leader in waiting, you have

to be a support to the leader and I made a conscious decision

to stand for deputy leader because my strengths are in

organising and supporting our leader. Jeremy will tell me I

have always been a friend who has not been shy at saying what

needs to be said, but you will also

now in my four years I have never been anything but

pluralist and supporting our party and our movement.

So that is why I have received so much support so far and so

much nomination and I thank everyone for your support,

but I promise you I will be a campaigning deputy leader that

will not do anything that takes us away from power and will make

sure that we do get that Labour Prime Minister next General

Election.

LIAM: So as I say, wanted to select some questions that were

pertinent to where we were in Liverpool. One of the main

issues facing the city at the moment is that there is a

desperate need for a new hospital in the Royal Liverpool
