Labour 'should move on from men in suits', says ex-MP Sian James

A woman should be made leader of the Labour Party according to a former Welsh MP.

Sian James, who quit as Labour MP for Swansea East in April, said the party should move on from the "men in suits".

Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Kendall are battling it out in the Labour leadership contest.

Ms James said: "It's time we give women a go, we've had the men in suits. We've had the men saying 'this is the way to do it, ladies'."

She spoke to BBC Wales' Sunday Supplement.
