Labour party to hold emergency selections for constituencies

Labour will hold emergency selections for hundreds of constituencies across the country next week, with allies of Jeremy Corbyn eyeing up key seats vacated by retiring MPs.About 10 Labour MPs are planning to stand down, creating a battle over their winnable seats between those loyal and opposed to the leadership.The make-up of the parliamentary party after 8 June will be extremely significant as any potential leftwing candidate to succeed Corbyn would need 15% of support of MPs and MEPs.
