BULLISH Jeremy Corbyn braced his detractors for disappointment yesterday, predicting Labour will make gains in the party’s first electoral test under his leadership.
Mr Corbyn dismissed speculation that he could face a leadership challenge if Labour struggles in elections across Britain tomorrow, saying: “We’re not going to lose seats, we’re looking to gain seats where we can.”
The Labour leader also urged the media to stop “obsessing” over his leadership and focus on the real election issues, such as “grotesque” levels of poverty, cuts to the NHS and the housing crisis.
