Jeremy Corbyn has said he intends to stay on as Labour leader even if he suffers a landslide defeat in the general election.

The recent council elections suggested Labour is heading for a historic defeat to the Conservatives next month, but Mr Corbyn on Monday night said would be "carrying on" whatever the result.

"I was elected leader of this party and I’ll stay leader of this party," he told the website BuzzFeed.

Speaking as he visited Leamington Spa he insisted he was "serious about winning the election".
