Jeremy Corbyn wins UK Labour leadership contest

Jeremy Corbyneremy Corbyn has promised to lead a Labour "fight back" after being elected the party's new leader by a landslide.

The veteran left winger got almost 60% of more than 400,000 votes cast, trouncing his rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall.  He immediately faced an exodus of shadow cabinet members - but senior figures including Ed Miliband urged the party's MPs to get behind him.

Mr Corbyn was a 200-1 outsider when the three month contest began.

But he was swept to victory on a wave of enthusiasm for his anti-austerity message and promise to scrap Britain's nuclear weapons and renationalise the railways and major utilities.

He told BBC News he had been a "bit surprised" by the scale of his victory but his campaign had showed "politics can change and we have changed it".

He will now select his shadow cabinet - but without a string of existing members including Ms Cooper, Tristram Hunt and Rachel Reeves - who have all ruled themselves out.
