Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has condemned those who jeered when Kezia Dugdale was mentioned at a party hustings in Glasgow.

The Islington North MP called for an "open and respectful debate" after the scenes at the leadership hustings at the SECC on Thursday night.

He also praised the Scottish Labour leader for her courtesy in informing him she was going to back his rival Owen Smith in the leadership race.

Corbyn told STV News at an event in Edinburgh on Friday: "I don't think anyone should jeer at anyone else. I don't do that myself and I've asked other people not to.

"I've made it very, very clear - let's have an honest, open and respectful debate."

"She had the courtesy to tell me she wasn't going to be supporting me in the leadership election before she announced her support for Owen Smith.

"Naturally, I'm disappointed in that, but it's no more than a disappointment."

Smith was interrupted by members of audience jeering as he said he thought Dugdale was doing a "brilliant job".

He said: "Well I think Kezia is doing a fantastic job. She is a great role model across this country.

"And I'm really worried that I'm hearing a Labour audience laughing and jeering at the leader of Scottish Labour."

During the often ill-tempered debate, the moderator repeatedly appealed for those in the audience to stop heckling and booing.

Corbyn and Smith clashed over their roles in the European referendum campaign, with the Welsh MP casting doubt over whether the Labour leader actually cast his vote for Remain.

Around 23,000 Labour members in Scotland will have a vote in the contest as well as registered supporters and those who qualify to vote through their trade union.

Smith initiated a formal leadership challenge following the collapse of Corbyn's shadow cabinet and a vote of no confidence in his leadership among Labour MPs.

Voting will end in the contest on September 21 and the winner will be announced at a special party conference on September 24 in Liverpool.
