One of many moments that sunk Jeremy Corbyn within the election marketing campaign was his interview with Andrew Neil. So, there’s a specific curiosity in Andrew Neil’s interviews with the Labour management contenders.

Lisa Nandy was this night’s visitor. Firstly, she was visibly nervous as he questioned her on international affairs. Nandy went massive on humility, saying that ‘nobody particular person is sweet sufficient to be Prime Minister’. However because the interview went on, she grew to become extra assured. She was daring sufficient to say that the Tory plan to maneuver celebration headquarters out of London and into the Midlands or the North will go down effectively with Purple Wall voters. She reiterated her very legitimate criticism of Jeremy Corbyn’s dealing with of the Salisbury assault.

However there have been holes in Nandy’s arguments. She had no significant reply to what strategy to a UK/EU commerce deal would unite each side of the Labour coalition.
