Corbyn v. Smith: The Supporters
Voting for the Labour leadership election has ended, with the result to be announced at a special conference in Liverpool on Saturday.
Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith made their final pitches for support earlier today.
Rachel Burden talked to supporters of Mr Corbyn and Mr Smith in Bolton, with Bolton West being one of the 100 seats that Labour need to win from the Tories if they are to get back into government.
Tom Jennings, a local councillor from Warrington, said “it’s only Owen Smith” who can prevent labour from losing seats in 2020, while Joan Pritchard-Jones, a long-standing labour party member, said Owen Smith has not “got a chance of winning” because voters “want something different”.
