Time now for the Labour leadership results...
The Labour leadership election has been "as much a referendum on the political culture of the Labour Party as it has been about the candidate's policy", says Tom Watson. It's also been an indictment of politics as a whole, he adds, saying people are sick of the old way of doing politics. "If we embraces this and face it together we can turn it to our unstoppable advantage," he tells the room. And in a message to "sniggering" Conservatives, Mr Watson adds:
Quote MessageWatch this space, watch your backs, we'll be watching you and we will win in 2020.
The leadership candidates applaud Tom Watson as he warns the Conservatives to "watch their backs" and insists Labour can win in 2020.

Tom Watson says it's been "a strange campaign" but one which has given him time to reflect on early political memories - recalling first the miners' strike in 1972. He goes on to thank some of the unions for their endorsement.
Mr Watson says he will back the party's new leader "100%" and "I ask you to do the same" - as he appeals for unity to fight the Conservative government.
"To those who feel alarmed by the scale of differences between the old world and the new world, there s only one Labour," he says, "and it's bigger than its leaders, members or supporters".

Tom Watson, Deputy Labour leader
Tom Watson thanks all those who made his victory possible and says there's been a Conservative government for too long and says Britons believe in giving people "a fair crack" and says it is a critical moment for the Labour Party.
In a short acceptance speech, Tom Watson confesses that "nothing really prepares you for this moment". He says he'd been writing his speech backstage with his children - who advised him the first thing to do was to "thank your mum and dad". But he adds a third thanks - to his campaign manager.

Jenni Russell, columnist at The Times, tells BBC Radio 5 Live if Corbyn is elected, the Labour Party could be "riven".
Quote MessageCorbyn has never had to compromise or be shaded by what is it electorally acceptable. He doesn't have in his bones what it takes to bring a party together."
The deputy and Labour leadership candidates are welcomed into the room, to a standing ovation from the assembled crowd. Lots of smiles on all their faces... they're giving nothing away, it seems...
Sadiq Khan says he never dreamt that as "a south London boy, a son of immigrants, who grew up on a council estate I could ever be standing here today". He says he's "humbled" to have been selected - and pays tributes to his fellow candidates, and those standing for the deputy Labour leader and leader roles. To win, Mr Khan says, Labour needs to show it is in tune with the lives of the British people, understand the challenges people face and share their ambitions. In a message to the party, he says that whatever the outcome of the result today, "we must pull together".
