Jess Phillips calls for “unifying leader” as she withdraws from the race

Phillips said she had to "be honest" with herself and "that person is not me".

Jess Phillips has called for a candidate that can unite the whole Labour movement as she withdrew from the leadership race.

The MP for Birmingham Yardley said she had to “be honest” with herself and “that person is not me” in an emotive video posted on social media.

Phillips had yet to receive any nominations from trade unions, affiliate bodies or local parties, which are needed for candidates to get on the final ballot.

She was missing from a hustings event organised by the GMB trade union today, fuelling speculation that she would be standing down.

With Jess Phillips looking like she may drop out of the Labour leadership race, we've recalculated our results to show what the first round would look like:

Starmer – 53%
Long-Bailey – 33%
Nandy – 10%
Thornberry – 4%

Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer is the frontrunner in the Labour contest, having already secured his place on the final ballot paper as a result of nominations from the unions Unison and Usdaw and the Socialist Environment and Resources Association (Sera), an affiliate group.

Sir Keir, shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry and former shadow cabinet minister Lisa Nandy were all at the GMB hustings in London.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
