Jeremy Corbyn's son is planning to stand for a seat in the House of Commons, sources have told The Telegraph.

Seb Corbyn is reportedly preparing to mount a campaign to replace his father's political aide Steve Rotheram, the sitting Liverpool Walton MP, who is standing down at the election in June.

Mr Corbyn's son and his political secretary Katy Clark are both said to be seeking a seat in the Commons according to three separate party sources.

A deal could be struck with the National Executive Committee which would see seats divided between pro-Corbyn and moderate candidates.
