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.

An altercation broke out whileJohn McDonnellwas making his acceptance speech , Sky News have reported. People in the audience started shouting “terrorist” and “liar”, prior to the incident. As police dealt with it, McDonnell went on to say:

**************

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.

Jeremy Corbynis 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 (Labor)

But the party put forward a manifesto of hope, he says.

And he says the party’s policies were popular.

But Brexit has polarized debate, he says.

He says the issues of social justice will not go away. They will come back. And the fundamental Labor message is one that will be there for all time.

**************

I will not lead the party in any future general election campaign.

But he says a discussion will take place as to what happens next.

The former parliamentary chair of the Jewish Labor Movement, which passed a vote of no confidence against Corbyn in April, said there is “no justification” for his remaining as leader:

**************

Jeremy Corbyn’s action on antisemitism have made us the nasty party. We are the racist party. When you have a prime minister who has said such vile Islamophobic comments and we’re the racist party because of the actions of my leader, then we have a real real problem.
