YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Three Yvette Cooper clips from interview with Laura Kuenssberg

1) On Immigration:

LK: Labour was squeamish about it in your view?

YC: Yes we were.

2) On Blair era critics.

LK: Are they (Alan Milburn and John Hutton) wrong to say the party needs to ...skip a generation

YC: I think they're a bit trapped in the past to be honest., I think they're still fighting battles from 2004 and 2005...settle old scores from the Labour party history

3) On running a deficit before the crash

LK: It was wrong - just to be clear?...

YC: ...I'm saying ideally you would have had it in surplus, so yes it should have been in surplus by that time...
