Labour leadership challenge - who the Scottish CLPs have nominated

Labour leadership challenge - who the Scottish CLPs have nominated

Meetings of local Labour branches have been suspended while Owen Smith challenges Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the party. They can however, meet to nominate a candidate.

While Constituency Labour Party (CLP) branches across the UK have so far overwhelmingly backed the incumbent Corbyn, but in Scotland CLP nominations have been more evenly split.

Corbyn has been backed by 15 Scottish CLPs, while Smith has garnered the support of 13.
