Sky News jounalist Sophy Ridge during yesterday’s interview, moves on to ask Ms Liz Kendall about Downing Street and the centre of government.
The cabinet minister says she is not fazed by reports those inside Number 10 and Number 11 have been frustrated with her slow progress.
The briefing is like “water off a duck’s back”, Ms Kendall claims.
Sophy asks if there’s a “boys club” in Labour, with briefings against high profile women like Sue Gray, Ms Kendall, Bridge Phillipson and Rachel Reeves.
Ms Kendall says she doesn’t see this.
