Who's backing who as candidates seek to pass final hurdle to make the ballot

The Labour leadership contenders have until Friday 14th February to secure their place on the ballot.

To do so, candidates need either 33 constituency Labour parties (CLPs) or at least three affiliates (at least two of which must be trade unions) compromising 5% of affiliated membership to nominate them.

Keir Starmer, Lisa Nandy and Rebecca Long-Bailey have so far to guaranteed their place on the ballot, with at least three affiliate nominations (two of which are unions). Emily Thornberry will be hoping to bag 33 CLP nominations to secure her place.
