They've made strong gains in some areas, but there's still a lot of scepticism regarding their direction and leadership; their Brexit promises won't help them either.
A strong opposition would now wipe the floor with Johnson and the Conservatives, but the majority of the population see Corbyn and his followers as unelectable.

It all depends on wether the 'hustings' are portrayed as another 'referendum' and sidetrack from the fact it is a General Election.
If de Pfeffel goes full on right wing europhobe then that dilutes BXP influence.
Corbyn must approach on other than Brexit, it's a toxic subject for labour, so full on NHS, tax breaks eliminated, etc.
Where I'm at a loss at the moment is brexit demanding cutting free from the EU only to hand over the same practices to the US.
The big problem is Swinson, as tory as Mogg, and her using the Lib dems as a business, grow the party with no principles approach. She would jump straight into bed with the tories and their coalition would make the last one look like a soviet.
It's showing the selfish, self serving interests of all parties as none of them are putting the country first.
Oh and brexit won't be solved/furthered by this election.

We have a fresh-faced, newly out of university graduate working on our floor in work who was talking about who should have the right to vote this morning.
He was 'discussing' (telling) how a sixteen year old must have the right to vote, whereas those over sixty or seventy years of age shouldn't be eligible to vote.
I pondered a well-rounded, articulate answer that would provoke serious debate, but I then decided it was best to laugh and tell him to k'off.
That Boris fella always seems to get his way - reopened the EU deal yet they never said they would ever do it, and now Corbyn saying he would not give him an early Christmas present...... yet I think it still be close as the Lib dems and SNP will get more seats.....
Labour will struggle for intangenegece, and the fact it will be a Brexit election....

Get your gloves on and get moving.
We’re knocking on doors in December to get these Tories gone.

*Johnson
BOJO
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson
Our new PM......
...ha, ha, that means I couldn’t vote!!
The thought of 5 years of Boris Johnson is frightening, but I can only see a big Tory victory over this Momentum Labour Party.
Not sure why Labour are giving Johnson exactly what he wants, seems a ridiculous time for an election as far as Labour is concerned.
Yes cant vote at 70 years old - that's Corbyn out as he is past 70 and most of the House of Lords
that's one way of abolishing it.....
Just let Momentum take control NOT......

Welcome back Wayne
They had no option. The LD’s and SNP were on board and it only needed a simple majority. Corbyn had no choice in the matter.......
The WA wasn't reopened, Johnson just regressed it to an earlier stage that May had ruled out for the sake of the Union.
Labour said there would be a GE after the extension was in.
"That Boris fella" gets his way by caving in to other peoples' demands and then gaslighting his followers that it was what he wanted all along.
