    Yvette Cooper speaks to BBC presenter Jane Hill

    Yvette Cooper says she is "obviously disappointed" about coming third in the election but acknowledges Jeremy Corbyn's victory was "very strong". She says she expects him to now "reach out across the country to the public" after three months of internal debate. As to her own future, she says she does "not expect" to feature in the shadow cabinet but insists she will not "take her bat and ball home" and wants to play a leading role in campaigning for the UK to stay in the European Union.

    There's now quite a lot of focus on who will be taking roles in Jeremy Corbyn's top team. Asked whether he would remain as shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker says:

    Quote Message

    I'll work hard for the party. Clearly there are issues around defence. It depends on how Jeremy runs his shadow cabinet - but there are for me important issues of principle. I'm looking at a way of supporting Labour to win next election."

    Green Party leader Natalie Bennett has said she and Jeremy Corbyn are united in their opposition to austerity, Trident and privatisation and says she wants to work with him on other issues, such as electoral reform. 

    She adds: 

    Quote Message

    The selection of Jeremy Corbyn... shows how many people support an alternative to austerity economics, to the head-in-the-sand approach to our environmental crisis and to tired, business-as-usual politics. We hope Corbyn will encourage his supporters to join with us and other campaigners working on these issues, and, in particular, on pushing the issue of climate change to the top of the political agenda ahead of the upcoming Paris talks."

    Scotland's First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has congratulated Jeremy Corbyn on his victory and said she wants "to work constructively with him in a progressive alliance against Tory austerity".

    But she has added:

    Quote Message

    The reality today is that at a time when the country needs strong opposition to the Tories, Jeremy Corbyn leads a deeply, and very bitterly, divided party. Indeed, if Labour cannot quickly demonstrate that they have a credible chance of winning the next UK general election, many more people in Scotland are likely to conclude that independence is the only alternative to continued Tory government."

    Andy Burnham tells BBC Radio 5 Live's chief political correspondent John Pienaar:

    Quote Message

    I gave this contest everything I've got. It wasn't what party wanted and I respect the views of our members. They wanted change, and that will now come."

    Andy Burnham, Labour leadership contender

    Asked whether he would resign his role as shadow health secretary, he said:

    Quote Message

    There's no offer been made - but today is not the day to head off into sunset. We need to stand together and get behind our new leader. It's beholden on people like me to get behind the new leader."

  14. Corbyn's 'massive mandate'published at 12:12

    BBC News Channel

    BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith says the outcome of the contest is "absolutely amazing". What is politically important is that Jeremy Corbyn won in every section so he has a "massive" mandate, Norman says. And for those who say he'll be gone by next summer they now have to tread "very carefully". Tom Watson, the new deputy leader, will be essential in keeping the show on the road, adds Norman.

  15. Corbyn on Labour's futurepublished at 12:11

    "We go forward now as a movement and a party bigger than we been for," says Jeremy Corbyn in his final remarks. He says Labour is stronger and more determined than it has been for a long time - and will become more inclusive, involved and democractic, and "shape the future of everyone in this country". "Things can, and they will, change." he concludes - as people in the hall rise to their feet.

  16. Corbyn on inequalitypublished at 12:10

    The Conservatives have used the 2008 economic crisis to impose a "terrible burden" on the poorest in society, claims Jeremy Corbyn. Labour needs an economic strategy that improves people's lives, expands the economy and reaches out to care for everybody, he tells the assembled crowd. He pledges more action to address inequality.

  17. Corbyn: We are one worldpublished at 12:05

    Back to the government's Trade Union Bill, Jeremy Corbyn says Labour will oppose it - as well as planned welfare reforms. His remarks now touch on the refugee and migrant crisis, saying the UK should respond with humanity, support and compassion. "We must recognise that going to war creates a legacy of bitterness and problems", Mr Corbyn says, adding:

    "Let us be a force for change, humanity and peace in the world. "We are one world," he adds.
