Rebecca Long-Bailey in the lead to replace Jeremy Corbyn, new poll suggests

Rebecca Long-Bailey has leapfrogged Sir Keir Starmer in the race to be the next labour leader, a new poll has suggested.

An earlier survey had put Sir Keir narrowly ahead.

According to the results, Jess Phillips would get 9% of first preferences, Lisa Nandy 7% and shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry just 1%.

However more than a third of those surveyed said they had not decided who they would vote for in the leadership contest and only 22% said they were sure they would not change their mind in the remaining 11 weeks of the race
