Deadline for Labour leader nominations
Labour MPs and MEPs have until 14:30 GMT today to place their nominations for the next leader of the party.
Candidates must win the support of at least 10% of the party, which means MPs hoping to make it the next stage need a minimum of 22 nominations.
Successful candidates must then secure nominations from at least 5% of Labour affiliates, such as trade union backers, before they get the chance to win over the Labour membership.
Keir Starmer and Rebecca Long-Bailey are currently the bookies’ favourites to replace Jeremy Corbyn.
