The scabs who have cut their noses off so they can get their brexit through will perish because of this.

Muppets. Absolute muppets.

 

[Ferninho]

How can so many people vote for poverty and a lack of public services?

Not the best time for you to be taking the piss.

What part do you think is taking the piss? Labour had the opportunity for the easiest general election win ever but instead they made themselves as unelectable as possible.

I voted Labour. I wanted Labour to win but I knew they didn't have a chance because Corbyn hasn't got the first clue how to lead the party. He's an absolute joke and should resign in the morning.

He's the Marco Silva of politics.

If Corbyn was a man of principle and didn't sell out to the EU then the result would be very much different. Whine about "are enachess" all you like, but brexit was the only game in town.
And anyone who trusts a Tory with the EU is a mug.

Couldn't agree more with this.

The only people to blame are those who have propped up a absurdly unpopular Labour leader. 9 years of Tory rule and losing up to 70 seats? Embarrassing.

They are a pretty big bubble mate.

Brexit will have done us in if this poll is correct.

It's not. Pretty much every Corbyn/Momentum supporter is a member of the party. They're enthused but comparatively small.

There are thousands upon thousands of normal Labour supporters who can't vote for Corbyn - who aren't members, never would be, but have traditionally voted their way. I'm one! Pretty much everyone I know around the country are the same.

This result isn't a surprise to me. The 2017 one was, but in retrospect it was because Theresa May utterly smashed apart her own base with the threat to the pensioners etc. The Tories took the win for granted and gave her a kicking. They haven't this time.

It's why Johnson's manifesto is so risk-free. It's because he didn't have to take risks to win. Corbyn, on the other hand, has gone around talking about revolution instead of evolution - banging on about free broadband when most people don't want or need it and so on.

The country as a whole is the antithesis of a socialist population - it is centre ground, centre-right in general, especially outside the cities. Corbyn has zero appeal to vast swathes of this country, and the Momentum bubble completely didn't care as they are comfiest being a party of protest instead of a party of power and compromise.
