Jeremy Corbyn is standing down as Labour leader after failing to win the general election - but who could replace him?
In the wake of Labour's drubbing at the polls in December, the 38-year-old, who has been critical of Mr Corbyn, argued the party needed"to radically change".
She said:"Without what were once our Labour heartlands, we will never win power in Westminster and help to build the country we know we can be. Ms Thornberry had a rocky relationship with the current leadership over recent months, as one of the most prominent backers of remaining in the EU. Ousted Labour MP Caroline Flint has also said Ms Thornberry once told a colleague that she was"glad my constituents aren't as stupid as yours" - a claim branded a"total and utter lie" by the frontbencher.Announcing his candidacy, the shadow treasury minister said he wanted to"win back the trust" of voters who deserted the party in favour of Boris Johnson's Conservatives and"unleash" the Labour movement to win its first general election since 2005.
