Beckett emotional over Labour 'family trauma'

Today

Available for over a year

It is now "urgent" for the Labour Party to remove Jeremy Corbyn as leader, an emotional Dame Margaret Beckett tells the Today programme. Dame Margaret likens attempts to unseat Mr Corbyn to a "family trauma" but says some of those in his political circle would rather split the party than see him leave office. Here's some of her interview with Nick Robinson. (Image: Dame Margaret Beckett. Credit: AP.)
