The Birmingham Yardley MP has called for a ‘different kind of leader’

Prominent Labour backbencher Jess Phillips has thrown her hat into the ring in the race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn.

Phillips has become the third candidate to formally announce their leadership bid after the party suffered its worst electoral defeat since 1935, helping Boris Johnson win an 80-strong majority. ‘Now is not the time to play it safe. What I’ve heard so far in this debate is totally inadequate to the scale of the problem. Voters have changed.‘We need to recognise that politics has changed in a fundamental way by electing a different kind of leader. More of the same will lead to more of the same result.’

Philips announced her candidacy on social media with a video in which she visits the North Wales constituency of Delyn, which Labour lost to the Conservatives for the first time since 1987.
