Labour: Losses not due to Corbyn factor

The Labour party has lost more than 300 seats and control of five councils, including Glasgow, but have won some mayoral contests, in the UK local elections.

Explaining his party's "mixed results" to the World at One, Labour's Shadow Transport Secretary Andy McDonald refuted the suggestion that people had rejected the Labour party because they did not like Jeremy Corbyn, saying "if we have the opportunity to get our message across... then people say they will support us".
