Hard-Left fights to keep its grip on Labour: Jeremy Corbyn vows to cling on for MONTHS while successor is chosen [tr]

Jeremy Corbyn today vowed to stay on as Labour leader for months as his hard-Left faction fights to keep control of the party despite the disastrous election rout.

The veteran MP dismissed calls to step down immediately after overseeing the most catastrophic Labour showing in a poll since 1935.

Extraordinarily Mr Corbyn - who will have to face Boris Johnson in what promises to be an humiliating PMQs session next Wednesday - he also rejected the idea his appalling personal ratings and extreme policies were to blame.

Labour's tally of MPs was slashed by 59 to just 203 in a staggering night of political drama, putting them in a worse position than after Mr Corbyn's left-wing hero Michael Foot was put to the sword by Margaret Thatcher in 1983.

The party is already engulfed in a brutal civil war today as moderates warn the Tories could be in power for another 20 years unless Mr Corbyn and his supporters are evicted from power.

But left-wingers such as shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon today showed every sign of doubling down on the extreme agenda they tried to sell to the public in the campaign.

The ability to deny a mountain of reality is one of the Left’s superpowers.

Liberals are professional politicians, most of them couldn’t make it in the real world. They have nothing other than their political position.

Yes, government is God to the left. Its a place to impose your views and policies on an unwilling public.

The left hates to let go of power. All they want is power, to control people. Let’s deny them that forever.

Wow. "Doc, it hurts when I do this." "Well, don't do that!"
