Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer is on course to be Labour’s next leader, according to a new poll putting him comfortably ahead of his rivals in the race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn. According to the survey by YouGov, the shadow Brexit secretary has a convincing lead over his rivals Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy and could win the support of 53 per cent of members’ first preference votes. Ms Long-Bailey, the candidate most closely associated with Mr Corbyn’s left-wing policy agenda, would emerge with 31 per cent while Lisa Nandy, the MP for Wigan, could win 16 per cent of first preference votes, according to the survey. Among members of the left-wing group Momentum – set up to support Mr Corbyn’s policy agenda – 71 per cent of those questioned said they would back Ms Long-Bailey, while 19 per cent opted for Sir Keir and 10 per cent for Ms Nandy.
