Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has taken responsibility for the party's poor performance in the recent general election. In a statement, Corbyn said he was "sorry we came up short" and that he took "full responsibility" for the result.
The Labour Party won just 202 seats in the election, its worst result since 1935. The Conservatives won a majority of seats, with 365.
Corbyn said he would "reflect" on the result and would "take the time to listen to our members and supporters". He also said that he would "continue to fight for the values that I believe in" and that he would "not let the Tories destroy our country".
The Labour Party's poor performance in the election has been widely blamed on Corbyn's leadership. Many voters have said that they did not trust Corbyn to be Prime Minister, and that his policies were too left-wing.
Corbyn has been leader of the Labour Party since 2015. He is a controversial figure, and his leadership has been divisive. Many Labour MPs have called for him to resign, and there is speculation that he may face a leadership challenge in the near future.
