The Labour leader arrived in positive mood to cast his vote at Pakeman primary school in his Islington constituency.

Asked if he was feeling confident the Labour leader smiled and said: “Extremely, it’s a very good day.”

On the outcome of the referendum he joked: “You could either check the wind or check the bookies,” adding, “the bookies usually get it right”.

He acknowledged the odds on his election as party leader last year had not been favourable, grinning as he said: “I cost them (bookies) a lot of money.”
