He said that Mays version of a hard Brexit was rejected by the British people, and that Brexit negotiations should now be put on hold.
But Corbyn, who won his north London seat, said that Labour would work to build a Britain that "works for the many, not the few". They had some strong words to say against Theresa May, earlier in the day.
After the election, the right-wing UK Independence Party, which helped drive Brexit, was left with no seats in Parliament.
