The result boosts Boris Johnson's majority in the House of Commons and also hands him another brick in Labour's 'red wall'.

Sir Keir was silent as he left his north London home on Friday morning.

"In order to rebuild, the leadership must build a coalition with the left on transformative policy, return to community organising, and empower members to shape the future of our party."Mr Corbyn's longest political ally, Labour's former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, said Sir Keir had"to be given his chance".

"We have lost the last four, with 2019 a catastrophe - the last 11 general elections read: lose, lose, lose, lose, Blair, Blair, Blair, lose, lose, lose, lose. Shadow communities and local government secretary Steve Reed told Sky News the defeat was"shattering" but insisted there was no need to ditch Sir Keir.
