YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The candidate for Labour deputy leader explains why he won't back the 'ten pledges' to tackle anti-Semitism released by the Board of Deputies of British Jews - even though most other candidates have.

Mr Burgon tells Sophy Ridge about his 'peace pledge' proposal, which would give Labour members the right to vote on any military action not backed by the UN.

He says the party should keep every single policy in the last manifesto, calling the NHS an example of 'socialist principles'.
