Apparently Labour's worst result for decades.
Yet Corbyn got a higher percentage than Gordon Brown or Ed Miliband managed.
So how does that work ?
That's not a good thing though is it? Everyone knows it's FPTP. You may not agree with it but it was hardly a secret. Corbyn has lost Bolsover. Corbyn has lost Bishop Auckland. Hell, Corbyn has lost most of Northern England. He singularly failed to identify the threat of the Tories targetting Warrington Man, singularly failed to appeal to people in key marginals and his own safe seats. Elections have never, ever been won with over 50% of the popular vote in the UK.
Even Boris conceeds that these people may have "lent" him their vote though. To get it back, Corbyn needs to go and he needs to go now. All this "taking some time to reflect" is bollocks. What he'll be doing is taking time to change the nominations process for leader so that the membership and not the MPs nominate candidates. When he does that the Labour Party will arguably be more democratic, will certainly be more ideologically pure and the Tories will be in power for the next 30 years. My kids will grow up thinking of places like Darlington and Leigh as safe Tory seats.
