One in five Labour MPs has appeared on a deselection "hit list" drawn up by left wing supporters of Jeremy Corbyn, it has been reported.

A Momentum activists group in South Tyneside compiled a list of 49 sitting MPs who, it suggested, could "join the Liberals", according to The Times.

They were said to include Chuka Umunna - who led a revolt on leaving the EU single market in the Queen's Speech debate - Chris Leslie and Jess Philips.

The disclosure came as a YouGov poll for the newspaper put Labour eight points ahead of the Conservatives in its first opinion poll since the General Election.
