Meanwhile, former Cabinet Labour minister Peter Hain tells the Murnaghan programme it's time for MPs to unite.
Quote MessageIt's important to get behind Jeremy, whether they voted for him or not, we work on a policy programme which is capable of winning over not just those on the left of British politics... but also those on the centre of British politics who voted Tory last time."

Quote MessageI do not expect there to be a purge, or some kind of witch hunt against individuals. Certainly from a personal point of view, I would not be encouraging that from our members."
He adds that he expects the new shadow cabinet to be the most talented for years.

The Telegraph's Dan Hodges says it's difficult to see how "people with integrity can unite around Jeremy Corbyn". Tom Newton Dunn, of The Sun, says Jeremy Corbyn is a "real person" and people like that. But he says it will be impossible for him to unify his party.

On Pienaar’s Politics, The Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire says while Jeremy Corbyn has a hefty mandate from members, nine in 10 of MPs are against him.
"It could fly, it could...or it could all collapse in flames."
The papers saw yesterday as "the most stunning leadership upset in post-war history" (Sunday Times, external), "a political earthquake" (Mail on Sunday, external) and "a day of extraordinary drama" (Observer). There's plenty more here in our paper review.
Needless to say Labour's new leadership dominates the Sunday papers. Here are the front pages:

It's fine to leave the front bench, he said, pointing out that he has done so himself (under Tony Blair) - but when you do, you should have "the spirit of unity in your heart". There was also a warning to those thinking of stepping down:
Quote MessageThere's always someone else that can do a front bench job."

Tom Watson is pressed by Andrew Marr on differences with Jeremy Corbyn over the new leader's desire to leave Nato and scrap Trident. It is "a debate that we've got to have", he says.
Tom Watson describes Mr Corbyn as a "conviction politician" who has "spent decades swimming against the tide". He says he understands the concern of colleague worried about getting ousted following the surge in Corbyn-supporting members. He tells them to:
Quote MessageWatch this space, respect the mandate that he has been given from our members."
'Zero chance' of coup
Tom Watson, the new deputy leader of Labour says there is "zero chance" of a coup against Mr Corbyn.
Quote MessageLabour Party members will not accept that."
Labour deputy leader Tom Watson tells Andrew Marr Jeremy Corbyn wants to transform the party into a "movement". Something that will be very different to what MPs are used to.
