BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith asks him whether Labour should "tailor its message to middle England".

And the MP predicts the party could have a million members in the future.

Image source, Reuters
The leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party said it would seek to use its influence over the government in the Bombardier dispute.
Theresa May's Conservatives, who lost their overall majority in Parliament in the general election, rely on the DUP to secure majorities in key votes.
"Everyone realises how important Bombardier is to Northern Ireland and we will use our influence with our government to make sure that continues," the DUP's Arlene Foster told Sky News.
"What we must do now is to continue to work with our own government, with the American government, with the Canadian government, in trying to get Boeing to see sense."
