Labour faces 'historic' task to win power in UK, Corbyn admits

Party leaders are returning to the campaign trail in the UK amid opposition fears of a Conservative landslide after the Tories made sweeping gains in the local elections.

Labout leader Jeremy Corbyn admitted the party faces a task on an "historic scale" if it is to regain power in the General Election on June 8 after losing more than 300 councillors on a calamitous day for his party.
