Labour's deputy leader Lucy Powell highlighted the importance of the upcoming by-election and urged members of the party to stand as one. "This by-election is potentially going to be a really consequential by-election - maybe the most consequential by-election of this parliament". She used a football analogy to explain why the Labour Party have "got to get behind Keir Starmer". "I want to make sure we are putting out the best team on the pitch week after week so that we can win those important matches" "I'm also going to get behind Pep Guardiola as our manager and make sure that we win those crucial matches and that we go on to win the league - and I think we can do that better as one Labour team". #skynews #uknews #politics #election #byelection #labourparty SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
