Jeremy Corbyn has hit out at “media intrusion” on his family and other politicians as his Labour party was roundly defeated by Boris Johnson’s Conservatives at the ballot box.

Corbyn also blamed the media for “echoing” the Conservative narrative on Brexit. A number of newspapers campaigned for Britain to leave the European Union in 2016 and supported Johnson at this election.

With just one seat left to declare, Corbyn’s party has won 204 seats in Parliament to the Tories’ 364 – the worst result for Labour since 1935.
