UK: I'm in this to 'win the 2020 elections' says Corbyn

Labour Party leadership candidate and British MP Jeremy Corbyn said "our campaign is absolutely on the rails," as he presented his plans for a UK-wide publicly owned railway system, in London on Tuesday. Corbyn stated that there was a public move asking for policies that grow the UK economy, stressing that he was on the campaign trail to help the party "win the 2020 elections." Corbyn has been a successful campaigner in his bid for Labour leadership, gathering support from many trade unions and sections of civil society after the party's comprehensive defeat in May's General Election. Corbyn is now the bookmakers' favourite to win the party leadership election. At the beginning of the campaign six weeks ago, he was the 100-1 outsider; now bookies William Hill have slashed the odds to 5-4.
