JEREMY CORBYN’S chances of remaining leader of the Labour Party were boosted yesterday as his two rivals went to war live on TV.
Owen Smith and Angela Eagle squabbled over who should stand against Mr Corbyn in an extraordinary head-to-head on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.
Mr Smith, who is said to have the support of 90 MPs, said: “My view is whoever commands the greatest degree of support within the Parliamentary Labour Party is the unity candidate and that is the person who should go forward and take Jeremy on.”
