Corbyn says he will not lead Labour into another election

Jeremy Corbyn is still speaking.

He says the pressure on people in the public life is high. And the attacks on people in public life are disgusting.

He thanks his family, particularly his wife, for all she has had to put up with, especially because of the attacks from the media.

He says it has been a “very disappointing night” for Labour.

Jo Swinson, the Lib Dem leader, has lost her seat.

2. The Lib Dems screwed themselves

When they entered into a Coalition Government with the Tories ……..They took the hit for Tory Austerity while the Tories got off Scot- Free … Under Charles Kennedy , the Lib Dems reached the lofty peak of 63 seats .. The last time I looked , they were projected to get 13 seats …
