The Labour leader tells Sky he has a campaign plan and most of the party's candidates are in place as he vows to fight inequality.
The emphasis on the domestic agenda has fuelled speculation he is keeping his options open for a snap general election, despite his strong denials.
The new PM has been given a boost after a YouGov poll for The Sunday Times put the Tories on 31%, up six points on a previous poll, while Mr Corbyn's party was on 21%, a rise of two points.When asked if he was worried about competing with Mr Johnson at the next election, Mr Corbyn said:"Not in the slightest."I don't get involved in personal abuse, I don't make any personal abuse, I don't do personal, as far as I'm concerned the issues are too serious.
"We live in a country that is more unequal than almost any other in Europe, that is becoming more unequal, that in many parts of the country there has been no real investment since the end of the miners' strike. Where we are today in Mansfield is an example of that. "We have to have a change of approach and it has to be about investment, it has to be about real opportunities for young people so they don't go into university and come out with debt. They do get the choice - a real choice - of an apprenticeship or a university education."
Marginal seats such as Mansfield could decide the next election - and that election may not be too far away.
