Corbyn rules out quitting immediately – saying he wants to stay in charge during ‘process of reflection’ on result
This is whatJeremy Corbynsaid about his future in his speech at his count.
He said he would not lead the party into a future general election. But he also ruled out quitting immediately, saying that he would stay in charge to all the party time for a “process of reflection”.
**************
I want to also make it clear that I will not lead the party in any future general election campaign.
I will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward.
And I will lead the party during that period to ensure that discussion takes place and we move on into the future.
A period of reflection before a leadership election is exactly what
Len McCluskey, the Unite general secretary,
should should happenwhen asked last month about Corbyn’s future if Labor lost.

It is quite clear that there are fears also now for our democracy and the rise of the extreme right, but I say now we will organize to ensure this type of democracy will reign, that the democratic wishes of our People will be respected, and this type of extreme rightwing violence will not be tolerated within our society.

He says it has been a “very disappointing night” for (Labor)
