Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith are going head-to-head in a two hour hustings debate on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. 

In a previous debate, Mr Smith accused Mr Corbyn of being "10 out of 10" for leaving the European Union.

The bitter debate saw Mr Smith heckled and booed by members of the audience when he mentioned the "disunity" in the Labour party's ranks. 

In an attempt to calm tensions Mr Smith at one point directly addressed the audience and said: “We are not behaving like comrades to each other.”
