- By DAVID HUGHES

0 Jeremy Corbyn says he dislikes his own untidiness Jeremy Corbyn has said he is “horrified” by the sexual harassment allegation­s that have rocked Westminste­r, describing some of the cases as “disturbing”.

The Labour leader said he was “utterly determined” that his party’s events would be a safe place for women to go.

In a wide-ranging interview with Grazia, Mr Corbyn declared he was “ready to be prime minister tomorrow”, but admitted his “untidiness” was the trait he most deplores in himself.

A number of Labour and Tory MPS have been caught up in Westminste­r sleaze allegation­s in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal in Hollywood. Mr Corbyn said: “I’m horrified and appalled by it all. I think sexism is a real challenge in society that needs to be dealt with.”
