3:46Now PlayingWho are the frontrunners to replace Jeremy Corbyn and who has announced they will run in the contest to replace the Labour leader?
Who is running?
These are the people who have announced they're running.
Sir Keir Starmer: The Shadow Brexit Secretary is seen as a very capable politician - albeit relatively new, having only entered parliament in 2015. He's currently the frontrunner in the competition. But as a London Remainer, could he win back Leave voters in the north?
Rebecca Long-Bailey: The Shadow Business Secretary stood in for Mr Corbyn in the leadership debates and performed well. But there are question marks over whether she connects well with voters. She's seen by many as 'continuity Corbyn'.
Lisa Nandy: The 40-year-old MP for Wigan has revealed that she is "seriously considering" standing. She resigned from Corbyn's front bench and wants to concentrate on winning support in small towns and local communities.
Jess Phillips: A very strong media performer with a big personality. But will the Corbyn supporters trust her to run the party after her high-profile criticism of him?
Emily Thornberry: The Shadow Foreign Secretary was quiet during the election period. Was she silenced by the Corbyn leadership, or was she keeping her head down to separate herself from them? She's also attracted some negative attention for comments allegedly made about working-class voters.
Clive Lewis: Formerly a journalist, Clive Lewis still makes many appearances on TV. He was one of the original backers of Corbyn and is liked by some on the left-wing of the party.
