THE first shots in internal Labour elections that could prove crucial to Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership were fired this week.
Nominations have opened for the six constituency party representatives on Labour’s national executive.

The left-wing Grassroots Alliance, which currently holds four of the positions, finalised its slate of candidates at a meeting on Monday.

The alliance’s list is again headed by former London mayor Ken Livingstone, who topped the poll for the third time running when the last elections to the executive were held in August 2014.
