The race for the Labour Party leadership is now down to three candidates after Emily Thornberry failed to get enough support from local parties to be on the ballot.

Those hoping to replace Jeremy Corbyn include Rebecca Long-Bailey, Sir Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy.

Candidates need the support of three unions and affiliate groups representing 5 per cent of the membership to progress.

Ms Nandy, Sir Keir and Ms Long-Bailey have secured the support of unions and affiliates but Emily Thornberry failed to get over the line.

A poll of party members released on January 2 put Sir Keir as the clear frontrunner. According to the poll, he would comfortably defeat Ms Long-Bailey in a final round run-off. But there is a long way to go.

Here we list the remaining hopefuls who could find themselves facing Boris Johnson at the despatch box in three months' time.
