The Jewish Labour Movement has nominated Owen Smith for the Labour leadership by a landslide.

Some 92 per cent of the members voted for the Welsh MP who is challenging Jeremy Corbyn.

The organisation balloted its members last week, with just under 59 per cent of eligible members taking part.

Mr Corbyn won just four per cent of the votes, the same amount as those who voted for the movement not to nominate anybody.
