Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has quashed a motion at his party conference to oust his deputy, Tom Watson, by abolishing the position.
Mr Corbyn suggested the role should be reviewed instead, and was backed by the ruling National Executive Committee, a Labour source said.
A group of Labour MPs had urged the NEC to avoid an "internal civil war" when it should be preparing for an election.
Mr Watson called the move to oust him a "sectarian attack" on a "broad church". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/49781152
