More than 300 Labour MPs nominate Burnham to be leader | The Cathy Newman Show

Andy Burnham has secured 322 nominations from Labour MPs to be the next party leader on the first day of the leadership contest process. He is just one nomination short of securing enough so that no other candidate could secure the 81 backers necessary to proceed to the next stage of the contest. As Labour MPs line up to nominate - and praise - him, Cathy Newman and our panel discuss Burnham's impending coronation. Cathy also speaks to comedian and Three Lions co-writer David Baddiel about whether his England fan anthem has been replaced and the appeal of Andy Burnham. Victims' Commissioner for England and Wales Claire Waxman tells Cathy that she "doesn't have confidence" that the government will introduce the victims' safeguards she has asked for in its prison early release scheme. #cathynewman #andyburnham #uklabour #davidbaddiel #threelions #wonderwall 00:00 Coming up on The Cathy Newman Show 00:37 Labour MPs line up to praise Burnham 03:53 Number of Labour MPs nominating Burnham revealed 10:51 Panel discuss Burnham's impending coronation 20:47 Victims' Commissioner on prison early release scheme 33:39 Fears of regional war in Middle East after US-Iran strikes 38:08 Comedian David Baddiel on England's World Cup hopes 42:22 Is Wonderwall replacing Three Lions for England fans? 43:45 Trump and the Balogun red card 45:23 Baddiel on state of UK politics and Andy Burnham --- SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Why not listen to one of our podcasts?
