LABOUR’S leadership says it has a robust leadership election system which will prevent its opponents influencing the vote to chose a successor to Ed Miliband.

The party is facing calls from two MPs, Graham Stringer and John Mann, for its leadership election to be halted amid suspicions Conservative supporters are registering as Labour members to vote for left-winger Jeremy Corbyn.

Mr Corbyn says he only wants genuine Labour supporters to vote for him. Another candidate, Andy Burnham, says he has seen no evidence of large scale infiltration in the election.

It is also alleged hard-liners from the left wing of the party are signing up to vote for Mr Corbyn, whose election, Labour opponents believe, would push the party to the left and make it less likely to win a general election.
