Jeremy Corbyn's leadership has been criticised by former shadow cabinet ministers and other Labour MPs in a video message for rival Owen Smith's campaign.

The Labour leader was accused by his former shadow transport secretary Lilian Greenwood of undermining a long-planned campaign on rail fares after launching his shadow cabinet reshuffle on the same day.

He was also lambasted for attending a protest for steelworkers but failing to do "the hard work" by Anne Turley MP, who represents Redcar constituency, which was hit by the closure of a steelworks.

Former shadow minister for young people Gloria De Piero also weighed in, saying she did not believe Corbyn could "reach out" to non-Labour and former Labour voters.

Greenwood vented her frustration that a campaign concerning the rise in rail fares was eclipsed by Corbyn's reshuffle in January.

She said: "I was so disappointed, when we had got activists up and down the country out campaigning on that issue, and the same day Jeremy chose to launch his shadow cabinet reshuffle, completely knocking it off the agenda.

"He says, now, that I should have known he was going to do that but it's an absolute nonsense when we had planned that campaign day for weeks.

"It really undermined me and all the hard work that my staff, and our Labour activists up and down the country, had been doing."

Turley questioned Corbyn's credentials as a hard-working leader.

The Redcar MP said: "I tell you what sums up Jeremy Corbyn, for me, was when we had a march of the steelworkers in Westminster, he was there at the front, holding the banner.

"But when the hard work needed to be done, when we were meeting with businesses, when we were meeting with industry, when we were meeting with government to try to find the solutions, he wasn't there."

She added: "We need a leader that will roll up their sleeves, that will grab a crisis and really, really try and fix it. Jeremy Corbyn just is not that leader."

De Piero said former coal mining areas near her Ashfield seat in Nottinghamshire had turned away from Labour.

"We need a leader that can go and listen to those people - not just who did vote Labour but those people who we lost last time who used to vote Labour," she said.

"I don't think Jeremy can reach out."

Former shadow Welsh secretary Nia Griffith also featured in the video.

She argued that former members of the shadow cabinet who had resigned had "wanted to make things work" under Corbyn.

Griffith said: "I think it's really important that Labour Party members understand that we in the shadow cabinet really wanted to make things work and that we wanted to be loyal as well."

STV News has approached the Jeremy for Labour campaign for comment.

Corbyn and rival Smith will take the stage in a hustings event in Glasgow later on Thursday.
