Jeremy Corbyn hails High Court rejection of 'waste of time' leadership ballot challenge

Jeremy Corbyn has denounced a legal bid to block him from standing in the Labour leadership election in the UK as "a waste of time and resources" after it was rejected by a High Court judge.

The ruling allows the contest between Mr Corbyn and challenger Owen Smith to continue as planned, with the result due on September 24 following a postal ballot of members, affiliates and registered supporters.
