According to a timetable from Labour's national executive committee, MP nominations will open on Tuesday, with potential candidates having until 5pm on Thursday to gather 80 nominations, which is at least 20% of the parliamentary party. Nominations would be updated on a daily basis on the Labour party website for the duration of the MP nominations period, a statement said. Anyone who reaches this threshold must also receive nominations from at least 5% of constituency Labour parties, or about 30 in total, or at least three official party-affiliated bodies, of which at least two must be unions.
