Voting gets under way in the Labour
leadership election, as David Miliband becomes the latest senior Labour
figure to warn of the dangers of electing as leader the left -
wing backbencher, Jeremy Corbyn.
After significant electoral defeats at the hands of the SNP in 2015 and 2016, and splits over Corbyn's
leadership bid last year, senior
figures in both
wings of the Scottish party say they are keen to preserve unity during the
leadership election.
