Great news - Jeremy Corbyn sweeps to victory increasing his mandate as Labour leader

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2016/sep/24/labour-leadership-election-result-jeremy-corbyn-owen-smith-appeals-for-unity-politics-live
<snip>
Jeremy Corbyn 61.8% (313,209)

Owen Smith 38.2% (193,229)

Source: Labour Party
Corbyn says Theresa May’s government is not a new government; it is a new version of David Cameron’s 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.
