It's kind of ironic that a man who previously had spent his entire parliamentary career in amongst the most anti EU MPs would then end up destroying his career by supporting remaining in it. Corbyn could have achieved a lifetime ambition by helping Brexit through while improving his chances in the election.

If what I am hearing/reading is correct then more details will emerge about the talks that Mays staff held with Labour in the wake of her deal being soundly rejected by Parliament. And that effectively Barwell was willing to give in on most of the major issues that Labour claimed that needed to back it ie effective customs union and single market membership. Now Labour, and primarily Starmer, were simply not willing to do any deal despite what they said but lets assume they did and Mays deal, altered accordingly, passed it would have torn the Tories in two. And an election would have followed by way of a lost vote of confidence. Labour would have walked it. Now, of course, a lot of this is speculation but I suspect that the Tories dodged a real bullet on this due to Starmers idiocy. Yes, a lot to celebrate for your guys and well done on that because it was disciplined performance but I suspect that disaster was not as far away as people might think.

Due to this stonking majority, with the next election five years away, it will likely for once be a more unambiguous affair. Either Brexit will be a roaring or say middling success, in which case more people will inevitably adopt the 'leave' mindset, or it will fail to the extent that question the path we're on. So whatever opposite is in place, from solid or shabby will likely be somewhat down the list. A majority this large is a luxury that comes with no excuses.

If you don’t laugh you cry. Specifically if you don’t laugh about a serial liar being made prime minister then getting a record majority because Labour put up a left wing nut job about as popular as Hrolf at the guardian newspaper Christmas party, you cry. party, then you cry.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Party like it's 1999. You're stuck on morality for your political leaders....I get it, I just have different priorities. That said, I consider Corbyn to be far far more morally bankrupt than Johnson could ever be.......IRA and terrorism connections besides being a national security risk. As for lying....I don't know a successful politician who didn't lie.

Corbyn was an utter disaster, a disaster of such epic proportions, that you have to wonder if the Corbyn crew were actually scheming for an epic loss so they could somehow rebuild with the next Tony Blair. Labour are f***ed unless they can find an identity. Next election won’t be about brexit though, it will be about the failures of Boris Johnson and Domy C, and that will sweep Labour to power unless they pick another fart in a space suit leader. And around and around we will go on the merry go round. I am looking forward to brexit being over and done with, and the cold hard realization it will bring into the minds of the brexiteers, that it didn’t improve their lives one little bit In the end. It became the silver bullet to fix the woes of the proletariat, but mark my words, it won’t.

I think they might have just gone a bit sour old chap.
You're never going to see the value of Brexit because you're left wing. The country you're in 'gets it' and would never willingly give away its sovereignty to a superstate.....indeed they fought us to free themselves from one.

Labour is still mulling over it's Brexit position Corbyn will no doubt argue his was a nuanced stance. I think if Labour had taken Corbyn's position immediately after the referendum the public might have agreed with him. Get a deal and go back to the public. However they dilly dallied and didn't come up with it until this year by which time the public just saw it as yet another delay. Sometimes in politics it's not always about being right its about being right at the right time.

I have read some reports that some influential Labour figures have said that Corbynism must survive Corbyn ! At the end of the day the masses of their membership are 'Momentum', they voted Corbyn in as leader and it is the model of plausibility that they will lean towards another Corbynista as they choose his successor.Labour are in the grip of the hard-left.
