Labour leadership: Candidates clash in first TV debate - UNCUT

Making their case to lead the Labour Party and succeed Jeremy Corbyn, the four leadership candidates lay out their plans in a Newsnight special hosted by Katie Razzall.

The Labour leadership contest was triggered when Mr Corbyn announced he intends to step down following the party's fourth general election defeat in a row. Labour’s performance in December’s general election was the party’s worst defeat since 1935.

Labour’s next leader will be announced on 4 April.

Rosena Allin-Khan, Richard Burgon, Dawn Butler, Ian Murray and Angela Rayner are currently in the running for the deputy leader role.
