LABOUR DONORS POUR PRESSURE ON CORBYN

The new leader of the UK's Labour Party is under fresh pressure with a donor reportedly offering to support MPs who want to break away to launch a centrist party.

Left-wing leader Jeremy Corbyn has already seen other high-profile Labour donors say they won't back the party under his leadership.

Mr Corbyn was elected Labour leader at the weekend after tens of thousands of people joined the party to vote for him.

Former Labour MP Denis Macshane says it won't be wealthy donors who decide Jeremy Corbyn's fate - it will be elections, with the first major test coming in May.
