Jeremy Corbyn 61.8% (313,209)
Owen Smith 38.2% (193,229)
Source: Labour Party
Corbyn says Theresa Mays government is not a new government; it is a new version of David Camerons rightwing government.
He says school segregation is wrong.
He says poverty levels are unacceptable. Wealth must be shared more equally, he says.
Will post his victory speech as soon as I can find it.
