JEREMY CORBYN urged Labour MPs to pull together to help him fight the Tories yesterday as he launched his re-election campaign in confident mood.

The Labour leader offered a “hand of friendship” to the MPs who have plunged the party into a summer of infighting just 10 months after he won a landslide 59.5 per cent of the vote.

Whatever the outcome of the contest, Britain will still be blighted by a Tory government overseeing “grotesque” levels of inequality, Mr Corbyn told people at his London launch event.
