Jeremy Corbyn tells the BBC that the numbers of people who got involved in both his and Owen Smith's campaign "shows that democracy and participation are very vibrant and vital within the Labour Party".

And he disputes the extent of divisions withing Labour.

"The party is united actually on the economic strategy, united around education ideas, united around the National Health Service, united around the inequality and injustice that exists in Britain," he says.

"And now that this election is over, and it is over, the whole party has an opportunity to come together to put that message out. You will see over the next few days here in Liverpool, wonderful city of Liverpool, that’s such vibrant heart, and such a brilliant future. You are going to see the same thing for the Labour Party."
