Young Labour backs Corbyn

YOUNG Labour swung behind Jeremy Corbyn’s bid to be re-elected as Labour leader with an overwhelming majority at the national committee’s meeting on Thursday night.

Mr Corbyn won the backing of youth wing’s national committee with 15 votes for and 8 against.

The vote is a significant triumph for the Labour left as there was a pro-Kendall majority on the national committee during last year’s contest.
