EXTRA: Who will be Labour's deputy leader?

18. oktober 2025 · 32m

Two powerhouse Labour politicians are vying to replace Angela Rayner as deputy leader. 

With the winner being announced on 25 October, Beth Rigby has been speaking to both candidates about party unity, leadership, leaks, and their political vision in a special Electoral Dysfunction double-header. 

Lucy Powell pitches herself as the independent "shop steward" ready to speak truth to power, while Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson argues real influence comes from inside government. 

It's a contest that could define Sir Keir Starmer's future - who will win Labour's deputy leadership, the insider or the outsider?
