Corbyn has resigned as leader.

You're a bit behind the news on this. Tory overall majority 79 seats, with only St. Ives left to declare. Latter always seems to be extremely slow for some reason.

I may have jumped the gun on this one. I assumed that when he said he would not lead the party to the next election he was doing what every other defeated leader would do and resign immediately. I was wrong. He is now saying that the loss was not his fault and he will wait for the party to decide if he should continue.
