Rebecca Long-Bailey on @BBCr4today now. "We can't carry on as we were before," she says, going on to mention Brexit and antisemitism (not in her Tribune article) as well as a "lack of coherent narrative" in terms of policies.
@BBCr4today Does Corbyn accept responsibility for the defeat? "Of course he does." But he also led the party as it developed radical policies, and will be remembered for that, RLB says.
@BBCr4today On Brexit, she says: "We ended up with a compromise position and it did not satisfy." Was Keir Starmer wrong to push for another referendum? "My concern was that we were losing trust with our communities who voted Leave."
@BBCr4today RLB denies her Tribune article contains a "covert attack" on Keir Starmer, and she says the parliamentary manoeuvring was necessary.
@BBCr4today "We should have listened to Jewish communal organisations," RLB says, highlighting need for "robust proposals". She commits to implementing all EHRC recommendations.
@BBCr4today RLB says people have concerns about immigration "but we do need, as a party, to set out a stronger argument". She says the economic argument for migration has not been made.
@BBCr4today Does she support freedom of movement? "This is the million dollar question," RLB replies. She highlights benefits of FOM but does not say whether she would back or reject it going forward.
@BBCr4today On Trident, RLB says a leader and PM must make clear they "would do anything that it takes to ensure that the people of this country are protected". She adds: "If you have a deterrent, you have to be prepared to use it."
@BBCr4today Asked what last made her laugh out loud, RLB replies: "Probably Angela Rayner. She's always coming out with cracking jokes."
