Jeremy Corbyn was ridiculed by his own MPs last night after he suggested that while Labour is down in the polls, it was winning on social media.

The Labour leader said the party was "better" at getting their message out online and blamed the media for the party's increasingly bad ratings.

His comments came after an ICM poll for the Guardian showed the Conservatives extending their lead over Labour to 18 points, with the Tories on 44 per cent to Labour's 26 per cent.
