Speaking at the Unite conference in Ayr, Mr Corbyn said: "After a general election, we will have either a Tory prime minister or a Labour prime minister, there's no other option available. "There will be no pacts with any other party, we are fighting that election to win it in every part of the UK." Political parties are gearing up for the first December general election in almost a century, after MPs backed Boris Johnson's fourth attempt to go to the polls. The Prime Minister has said he is prepared for a "tough" battle, while shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he thought Labour would win a majority. Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson insisted the campaign was not a two-horse race between Mr Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn , and that she was standing as a candidate to be Prime Minister.
