You wouldn't know Labour had suffered a dismal night in the polls from Lloyd Russell-Moyle's acceptance speech. The arch Corbynista and MP for Brighton Kemptown channelled Winston Churchill as he vowed to take the fight to the Tories. Russell-Moyle launched into an explosive rant as he reacted to news of Boris's big win:
“'The Conservative party have an aim to break up our country. They aim to destroy our NHS and we will say no. We will fight them in the parliament. We will fight them in the courts. We will fight them in the workplaces and we will fight them in the streets.'
