WATCH: Exeter MP speaks to Radio Exe moments after re-election

Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw is furious with Labour's leadership after a disastrous night for the party.

Although he kept his seat, his majority is down by six thousand votes. Jeremy Corbyn's announced he won't be leading the party into the next election.

But Mr Bradshaw has called for those in charge of the party's policy and election strategy to be held accountable for the worst Labour result nationally since 1935.

Immediately after the announcement that his majority had been reduced to a still-large 10,000, Mr Bradshaw spoke to Radio Exe.
