Shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who is running Mr Corby's re-election campaign, said it was the "wrong tactic" and "not acceptable" for Mr Smith to warn of a possible split. Asked about Mr Smith's warnings that Labour could end up splitting, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who is running Mr Corbyn's re-election campaign, said it was the "wrong tactic in a leadership election".
"I've had Labour Party members... saying 'the message that is coming across from some of Owen Smith's friends is you either vote for Owen Smith or we'll split the party' and that's a threat and I don't think that's acceptable. I don't think that's what Owen Smith wants either," Mr McDonnell said.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Smith could end talk of division if he were to "denounce" supporters "who are trying to split the party" and pledge to serve under Mr Corbyn if he wins the contest.He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Smith could end talk of division if he were to "denounce" supporters "who are trying to split the party" and pledge to serve under Mr Corbyn if he wins the contest.

Legal challenge
Meanwhile, a group of Labour Party members is launching a legal challenge over restrictions on who can vote in the party's leadership battle.Meanwhile, a group of Labour Party members is launching a legal challenge over restrictions on who can vote in the party's leadership battle.
The group is attacking Labour's decision to enfranchise full members only if they joined the party on January 12 this year or earlier, arguing that they also have a right to vote in the contest as "a term of contract". Five party members are claiming breach of contract after Labour's governing body, the NEC, ruled that only members who joined the party on or before 12 January this year could vote.
The decision to exclude them was made under revised rules introduced by the party's national executive committee (NEC) in July.
To be able to vote, anyone who joined after 12 January had to pay an extra £25 to become a "registered supporter".To be able to vote, anyone who joined after 12 January had to pay an extra £25 to become a "registered supporter".
The decision is thought to have prevented about 120,000 new members from voting in the contest, BBC political correspondent Tom Bateman said.
Sources close to Mr Corbyn believe most of the new members would be likely to back the incumbent leader, he added.
The hearing at the High Court is expected to last all day.
