Jeremy Corbyn will automatically be on the ballot for any challenges to his leadership. Read his statement on the vote in full here.

The party's ruling body - the National Executive Committee (NEC) - tonight decided the terms of the leadership contest triggered by Angela Eagle's challenge, launched yesterday.

The NEC decided the incumbent leader would not have to gather 51 nominations from Labour MPs and MEPs.

They also decided Labour members who joined in the last six months will not be allowed to vote in the contest, and that the 'registered supporters' fee will go up from £3 to £25.

We'll have the latest as it happens and read a rundown of who the NEC's 33 members are here.
