there is an account here from mary creagh from wakefield, having confronted corbyn over the campaignthat corbyn should take responsibility for which he broadly has said that he will. he is leaving. and i think now obviously the party has some questions to think about in terms of why this campaign was lost. if you look at the polling in terms of why voters are switched from labour to the conservatives in 2017 and 2019, there seems to be a big focus on leadership and corbyn mac not being able to provide that solid, assertive leadership that johnson did over the course of this campaign, it is not his style. and also brexit was a huge issue in terms of the places we lost. but there was a question on whether or not there was any route out of the brexit morass for labour. the membership was pro— remain actually. but the seats were not. the membership was split by about two—thirds, one third in favour of remain but if you look at the seats that later had and wanted to hold onto, a lot of them were leave seats. —— labour wanted to hold onto. the conservative party managed to absorb almost th

front page of the times, mary creagh, 1a years the mp for wakefield, there she is clearing out her deskf the commons, wasjeremy corbyn taking selfies. there will be many people asking why is he still in office? i havejust many people asking why is he still in office? i have just come from that meeting and it didn't seem like there was lots of shouting, in the first half certainly. jeremy corbyn has said he is sorry, he has apologised. he said he takes responsibility and that is what people criticised him for. it seems like he wasn't taking full responsibility for that result. he said he would oppose borisjohnson‘s brexit deal on friday and lead his mps to do that, so he is trying to show some leadership. what worries some people in some parts of the party, he is more about the club and is of the labour party than he ever was about becoming prime minister. ultimately, he is going, maybe not as quickly as a lot of labour mps would like him too, some of them wa nt would like him too, some of them want him to leave immediately. but there are some new labour mps, we just gained one seat but

what about mary creagh, she is the local labour mp, she used to be the local labour mp, she used to berom down south, but she is an unashamed remainer ina down south, but she is an unashamed remainer in a constituency that voted more than 60% to leave. i think she would have hoped a bit of stubbornness wouldn't have gone amiss ina stubbornness wouldn't have gone amiss in a place like this constituency, they respect her for her view and would support her despite opposing staying in the european union but the question is how well have the brexit party done tonight? there wasn't a ukip candidate two years ago so we don't have a comparison. the candidate says it has been a good night, there's been a strong turnout, we knew that from the other parties, but he thinks and hopes he has taken more votes off labour than the tories. that could allow mary creagh to sneak back in, but she will be the most nervous of the three labour candidates tonight. i'm told by another candidate in another constituency, hemsworth, that has been labour since 1910, that probably labour have held that tonight but t
