Jeremy Corbyn has been re-elected as Labour Leader,

winning by a bigger margin than when he was first

His victory over his challenger, Owen Smith, was announced

at the start of the party's annual conference in Liverpool.

Mr Corbyn secured almost 62% of the vote, with 38

In his victory speech Mr Corbyn urged what he called "the Labour

family" to unite and focus on defeating the Conservatives.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is in Liverpool.

Her report contains some flash photography.

I am delighted to declare Jeremy Corbyn elected as leader the Labour

Party. He once seemed an accidental leader.

But under him Labour has been redesigned.

A firm victory. 2-0. Jeremy Corbyn is in charge again.

I will do everything I can to repay the trust and the support, to bring

our party together, we have much more in common than that which

divides us, as far as I'm concerned, as far as I'm concerned let's wipe

that slate clean from today and get on with the work we have to do as a

party together. Wonderful result.

The joy of his backers obvious. But despair from those who believe he

can win this hall but not the world outside. He has done it again. Not

just winning hands down, but with a bigger majority than last time. To

his opponents who hoped it would weaken him it has done the opposite.

Rewriting convention, the leader of a party divided in a way it has not

been for decades. Wins another chance. How do you feel about it?

You have gone through this together? Great. I wish we hadn't had it but

now we are through it, it was done relatively amicably. It demonstrated

how united we or on poll say. Where there is elements of validity with

can work it out. The majority of MPs backed Owen Smith but Jeremy Corbyn

has an overwhelming victory. Jeremy has won about 60% of the vote. That

means a lot didn't vote for him so we have to unite and we have to

focus on next year's elections. So how does the reanointed leader pool

it all together? The party is united actually on the economic strategy,

you flighted round education ideas, united round the National Health

Service, united round the inequality that exists in Britain and now this

election is over, and it is over, the whole party has an opportunity

to come together. To put that message out. But the party is also

bruised, battered, divided. I think you will see a sense of unity around

the party. I have already had messages from on my phone already,

text messages are coming in from lots of people who want to get

onboard and get out there and do the campaigning and that is just what we

are going to be doing. MPs pledging support? Lots of MPs. There are two

things you could offer today that would make many of them feel that

you really are serious about bringing them onboard. That would be

a return to Shadow Cabinet elections and also ruling out deselections for

sitting MPs. You will see a lot 06 changes in the next few weeks. Many

MPs might hear you say that and worry what about some of the changes

might be? They have no need to worry. It is all about democracy, we

are democratically accountable to the party and constituencies. I am

reaching out. Not the kind of exit he hoped for.

Owen Smith who challenged Mr Corbyn avoided the crowds. Jeremy is

congratulated for having changed the nature of the Labour Party. There is

a significantly changed electorate in this party right now, and Jeremy

is consistently won 60% of that support and he is to be

congratulated on what is to be a decisive victory. Jeremy Corbyn

transformed a small band of outsiders into the Labour majority.

Not once, but convincingly twice. His job now, to show the whole party

His job now, to show the whole party is on the way up.

Jeremy Corbyn's re-election was greeted with huge

celebration by his supporters gathered in Liverpool.

The leader of the powerful Unite union, Len McClusky,

said MPs must now fall in behind the Labour leader.

Our deputy political editor, John Pienaar, reports

on the challenges ahead for the party.

There is loyal, there is very loyal, and then there is Momentum a group

dedicated devoted to Jeremy Corbyn. Big win for Jeremy. How you

feelingst Fantastic. She wonderful. Let's hope the party gets together

unites and starts to fight all these austerity measures.

They expected Jeremy Corbyn to win, just not this big. Very excited,

today it is not just a great day for the Labour Party it is for the

British politics. Here, they are buzzing about a

result that means Jeremy Corbyn's leadership is unassailable. That was

unimaginable. Somebody the Labour left could only dream about. Does

that make him any like her to win over the country. Do you believe he

can change the minds of Tory voters? If he works for it he can. It is up

to the MPs to fall in Definitely. We have seen a huge mandate won by

Jeremy. They need to respect that and come in line. Deselect the

Blairites. Hard liners want disloyal MPs dropped as candidates. If you

come from Liverpool the chance is you are football mad and Labour.

That doesn't mean you are Nessly a Corbyn fan. Jeremy Corbyn, just been

elected. Big win, what do row think of him, is he a winner? Jeremy

Corbyn, he is a nice bloke, you know, he is a good man. But, I just

think he won't be able to cut it on the world stage. My match day at

Anfield you will see political players too. One of the biggest

warns Labour MPs to show loyalty to the leader. I am hoping now that the

PLP will recognise we have to unite. They have to give him a chance, him

and John McDonald to take out the alternative strategy that ordinary

decent working people are desperate for. An MP who is a co-bin critic

message is try harder What he has do is not just have more rallies but

listen to those who don't agree with him too, and work out what policies

are that will persuade people to come onboard.

In football and politics, this is deep red territory, and no-one is

denying Jeremy Corbyn has a lot of convincing to to do. Today he has

won the right to prove even wrong or else lead Labour to a his Tories

defeat. For his allies so much persuading to do, so little time.

For his allies so much persuading to do, so little time.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg joins us from Liverpool.

How difficult is it going to be to unite the party and move forward?

Well, Kate, very difficult. I think there is no secret about that, you

know, on paper, and for Labour's internal critics, this is a

disaster, one insider said to me welcome to the death of the Labour

Party. But for Jeremy Corbyn's team, for his supporterser for the legions

of people who have signed up to be a member of this party, to back him,

this is a complete vindication of their approach, it is a vindication

of their belief that there are people out there who want something

different. They want a different kind of lead e they have rejected

how Labour has been over the last couple of decades and they believe

that over time if MPs fall in behind them they do have a chance to pull

the party together, that could be in theory, something that ultimately is

an offer to the country that could see them win a general election. But

the two sides are so far apart, and there is a simple reason why they

matter, traditionally the voting public do not choose parties who are

divided. The public doesn't like it, when people fight among themselves,

for Jeremy Corbyn, it is going to take a lot to stop that with his

internal opponents. Thank you.

Police are investigating claims that hackers have stolen

They are said to include pictures of Prince George and

Our correspondent, Nick Higham, is here.

This is reported by the Sun and the Daily Mail this morning, apparently

anonymous seller has approached media organisations offerling some

3,000 pictures from Pippa Middleton 's I cloud account and wants to sell

them for 50,00 pounds. They include her being fitted for a wedding

dress, pictures at party, of Kate, Prince William and their children.

Unlikely I think that anyone this in country is going to buy them and

publish them. An invasion of privacy, they are stolen property,

there is no obvious public interest defence but they maybe offered for

sale abroad. It is not the first time that celebrities accounts have

been tampered with, there was a big hack two years ago, in which more

than 500 accounts were compromised, among them Jennifer Lawrence The

Hunger Games star, explicit pictures of her and the advice to celebrities

and indeed to the rest of us is make your online security as powerful and

strong as you can. Indeed. Thank you.
