Labour's annual conference has voted to make it easier for local party members to deselect sitting MPs.


Until now, Labour MPs only faced a reselection contest if 50% of a constituency's local branches and affiliated unions voted for it in a so-called "trigger ballot".
Delegates in Liverpool voted for that threshold to be reduced to 33%.
The deselection campaign is seen by some Labour MPs as an attempt to "purge" critics of Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour's general election candidates will be interesting to see if any results of how far the cult of Corbyn has gone.
