SYRIZA, Podemos, and now Labour? The UK's main opposition party is on track to elect its most socialist leader in 30 years as support continues to surge for anti-austerity, pro-nationalisation candidate Jeremy Corbyn.

Mr Corbyn, 66, has the most indications of support from Labour's constituency groups, backing from the UK's two biggest trade unions, Unite and Unison, and topped a YouGov plc opinion poll last week on the four leadership candidates.
