Harriet Harman on Labour leadership: 'Vote will stand'

Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman has said that party officials are "rigorously, robustly and fairly" verifying those applying to vote in its leadership contest.

Ms Harman called any Conservatives who have attempted to register for as supporters to vote in the election "dishonest and shameful".

"Whoever is elected on 13 September, they will have been legally elected and that decision will stand."

Andy Burnham's campaign has warned "several thousand" Tories might have registered.
