Do you agree with Liz Kendall? What changes would you make?

She would not give an answer whether she supported the Conservative's £3billion Welfare cuts.

That alone should instantly disqualify her. Any Labour Leader should be screaming from the roof tops denouncing these cuts. The fact she cannot, just shows how Labour have totally lost connection with the people it should be supporting, and who in turn should be supporting Labour.

Labour needs new policies, but not copycat Tory ones.

"Any Labour Leader should be screaming from the roof tops denouncing these cuts." -No, that's why they were rejected. They either change or they stay in opposition. I know many find it hard to comprehend but saving on welfare bills and tax cuts go down well with the hard working public. I think people like LK are starting to see that.

Ed Miliband said before that election that if Labour were successful they wouldn’t reverse the cuts unveiled by Gorge Osborne. I presume that is Labour’s policy – and if it is she ought to be honest about it.

She could be planning to change the policy.

I think the problem with telling the Labour party to "either change or they stay in opposition" is that if they change into something that is basically just the Tories but in red then what is even the point? It would be a clear admission that the Tories are right about how they are handling things. And, if so, you may as well leave being Tory to the experts.
