The reckoning begins for Leicester West MP Liz Kendall, and the other three candidates in the Labour Party leadership contest vote this morning. Ballot papers are being sent out from today to those eligible to vote for the party's next leader.

Lord Janner is expected to make his first appearance in court this morning (Friday) to face 22 charges of child abuse.

Today's appearance is expected to be very brief and will pave the way for a trial at Southwark Crown Court, likely to be later this month.
