Corbyn says he won’t lead Labour into another election

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, speaking after winning his own seat in Islington North, says he will “not lead the party in any future general election campaign.”

“Obviously it is a very disappointing night for the party,” he says, announcing his intention to step down at some point in the future.

However, he says he will stay on for a “period of reflection,” while discussion on the future of the party takes place.
