CORBYN SET TO WIN PLACE IN LABOUR RACE
Popular left-wing candidate secures more nominations for leadership battle following final push for support
JEREMY CORBYN is on course to secure the 35 nominations needed from MPs to stay in Labour’s leadership race, the Morning Star can reveal.
The left candidate, who started the weekend with 18 nominations, was closing in on the target last night after eight more MPs pledged their support. And a source close to Mr Corbyn told the Star that he was confident they would reach 35 by the time nominations close at noon today.
“It’s now looking very promising that we will get 35,” he said.
