Labour Leadership hopeful Lisa Nandy says she would abolish the Monarchy

Lisa Nandy has said she would vote to abolish the monarchy in any future referendum on the Royal Family.

Asked if he would vote to scrap the monarchy in a Channel 4 News TV debate, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said: “No, I wouldn’t. I think I’d downsize it.”

Rebecca Long-Bailey, the shadow business secretary, replied: “I think we have got more important things to worry about. I wouldn’t vote to abolish the monarchy.”

But Lisa Nandy said: “I’m a democrat, so I would vote to scrap it. But this is not the priority of the country.”

Later on she said “I’d quite like to see Queen Meghan”
