'Labour must put tackling child poverty at the heart of our future - that’s why we back Bridget Phillipson' - LabourList Five of Labour's devolved mayors on why they are backing Bridget Phillipson for deputy leader of the Labour Party.

I’m really proud to be backed by these mayors, who are delivering day in, day out for the people they represent.

As Deputy Leader, I’d speak up for every Labour Member, nation and region from my seat at Cabinet.

EXCLUSIVE: Bridget Phillipson: 'As Deputy Leader, I will make fighting child poverty my main priority - everything is on the table including removing the two-child limit' - LabourList Bridget Phillipson, running to be Labour deputy leader, says removing two-child limit "is not off the table" to tackling child poverty.

We won’t achieve our party’s historic mission of tackling child poverty by shouting from the side lines.

It won’t happen unless there is someone with the clout – and the mandate — to make it happen.
