In the poll though, only 21% of Londoners listed Brexit as one of their most important issues.

The Tories are in a paralysis because they can't as a party move on from Brexit. They pretty much literally have nothing else to say.

In my mind, what Labour have managed to do so successfully is break the recent political concensus that to win an election, you have to scare first and foremost, and that inspiring hope was a doomed mission. Labour have put forward a message which - whether you agree with it or not - is inspirational to millions of people in this country.

What is inspirational, in any way, about a ruling party with a woman in meltdown as leader, chased by a pack of power hungry but incompetent cabinet ministers, with little or no policy substance, who have tied all their flags to the Brexit mast and are watching as the ship sinks in to the f*cking channel?

Labour will win the next election with a bigger majority than anything Blair managed. That's my prediction. I mean, just look at how efficiently the Corbyn spy story has been slapped down and laughed off. The Establishment are bricking it because they have lost control over the narrative.

If you needed any further proof of the utter incompetence of the current Tory mob, it is that they decided to stay in power at the last election. The smart thing to have done would've been to let some grand coalition in to f*ck things up, regroup in the wings and ride back in 18 months later. That they were so mercilessly Macchiavellian, allthewhile being completely out of ideas, is simply marvellous.

Are you drunk!!! He was one of the Labour leave group! If you are unaware of that you have no validity in commenting! He also achieved a very creditable result in the election despite the Tories getting a much higher share of vote due to the collapse of the Liberal vote. You should check your facts before posting nonsense.

WTF are you talking about? He got the same share of the vote Blair got in 2005, and smashed Kinnock, Brown and Milliband's results.

In fact, Labour achieved the greatest swing in the vote in the post war era I believe. Trying to rewrite history as if the election was a failure is ridiculous. Despite a near unprecedented bombardment against Corbyn by all the mainstream media and most of his own parliamentary party, all of whom never dreamt a 10% swing to Labour was plausible.

There is a common motif in historical analysis known as a Pyrrhic victory, whereby winning the battle effectively loses you the war, and vice versa.

May might have won the last election, but Corbyn has completely altered the political narrative in this country. He has done this despite a bombardment from the media bordering on deranged and paranoid, as was embarrassingly shown this week with this Czech spy.

The reason Labour didn't win a greater number of seats was because of the major losses that Blairism suffered in Scotland. In London it looks like theyre on course for historic gains. The next election will be the same IMO. After the disaster of the Blairite triangulation projects final years, any Labour recovery was always likely to take a decade. Corbyn will achieve it, all the while making Labour the biggest and most vibrant political party in Europe.

We will win and we will win on our own terms. That is what it is about now.

A good week for JC a free gift calling him a communist spy.

Although I think most of us automatically think anything in these press rags is rubbish anyway.

People should not confuse brexit with Corbyn all the time.

An economic downturn could prove to be a roller-coaster.

People forget there was a recession just before Mrs T's demise.

It brings things sharply into focus, for a party in power for some years it shows their economic policies cannot work, as how could there be a recession if they had been right.

For the opposition they have not been in power and people may well decide enough and let's change.
