Vine on Labour's General Election record:
"Corbyn got more votes, as Labour leader, in 2019 than in any other General Election except 2017 when he was also the leader and did even better. Therefore, his policies were more popular than any other Labour leader since the 2001 General Election."

Corbyn on 10 May 2021 (Vine show on Radio 2) said:
"We lost 300 council seats last week. My worst result was 18 seats lost. I was undermined by Mandelson and others and contrition is required by Peter.
"My 10 m votes for Labour Party in 2019 was more than any other election since 2001. The monstering of individuals in the party had an effect on the electorate. I had 600,000 members join the party during my leadership.
"In 2005 we won on fewer votes than we achieved when we lost in 2019."
