Jeremy Corbyn has said it is a “bit rich” to blame him for Labour’s poor election performance as four of Keir Starmer’s predecessors weighed in on the party’s woes.

The former Labour leader said it was “a bit weak” to suggest he is responsible for the losses in last week’s by-election in Hartlepool and local elections across England.
