Corbyn: "My confidence and optimism are not naive" Defying a no confidence vote by his MPs, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn stresses that he is "the leader of the party" but says that despite the "overwhelming mandate" he was given by Labour supporters last year, he is not "naive". Speaking at the launch of a report on antisemitism in the Labour party says he hopes the party will come together to "ensure there is no racism whatsoever in any place, at any level in our party".
