COYP

Corbyn was never going to win an election or even get close to a majority. Never been his biggest fan and think he did get a bit of a tough ride from the press compared to BJ but he was never the answer.

Still, tough to see where Labour go after this and didn’t quite see it being *this* decisive.

Nervous about what is going to happen next though. BJ and his front bench really are charlatans.

I think their complete non position on Brexit hurt them, but I can see how it came about due to the Tory and Lib Dem stances. That and Corbyn himself. Part of that is definitely his fault and part was how he was portrayed. Some of their policies beyond the gimmicky ones were decent, but this was the Brexit election.

At least next election the public will be clear, one way or another, on how they feel about being out of the EU, and so the election should be more policy focused for once.

With any other leader, they'd have done better. Though I suppose due to the magnitude of the win they'd have still very likely lost. Brexit loomed over the election and so we're seeing lots of constituency results that once offs in nature.

Labour have a catch 22 situation with regards to how they elect their leaders now. Voting by text message is not the best of ideas. The issue is how much have Momentum got their claws into the wider party.

My initial thoughts are that the Trade Unions are the ones who need to step out now and insist on a change or else they withdraw funding. Len McClusky is probably their best bet but how that pans out....anybody's guess.

If the exit polls reflect the results, and don’t see why they won’t, if Labour ever want to be elected again they need a shift back towards the centre and a leader who appeals.

I still don’t get why BJ appeals to people that would otherwise vote Labour but that means I’m part of the problem.
