Lisa Nandy entered the Labour leadership race on a mission to get her party to confront what she saw as the reality of its defeat in the 2019 election. She rejected some of the current leadership’s explanation of what had gone wrong: it wasn’t simply about Brexit or a failure to cut through with some otherwise popular policies, it went far deeper than that.

She tells Anushka Asthana that from taking the previous Labour government to court over its treatment of asylum seekers to standing up to constituents – and her party’s leadership – over Brexit, she has never shied away from unpopular causes or difficult issues.
