Alan Johnson gave Corbyn and Lansman a proper slating this morning...

‘I am afraid the working classes have always been a big disappointment for Jon and his cult. (Mr) Corbyn was a disaster on the doorstep.

‘Everyone knew that he couldn’t lead the working class out of a paper bag.’

‘Now Jon has developed this Momentum group, this party within a party, aiming to keep the purity, the culture of betrayal goes on. ‘You’ll hear it now more and more over the next couple of days as this little cult get their act together. I want them out of the party, I want Momentum gone, go back to your student politics.’

From what I remember, Corbyn was 'a disaster' on the doorstep in most working-class areas in 2017 too.

But, the Party were still 'honouring Brexit' at this stage.

When I've spoked to people, in typically working-class areas, it was possible to cut through anti-Corbyn sentiment quite easily. Never once did anyone ever mention AS. Ever.

The only things that ever came up, in my presence, were Brexit and past associations - namely IRA. This was quite easily to take down.

The stance on Brexit though was very very tough to break through. And that has shown.

I hoped we would sneak through the heartlands areas (with a majority of one is still a majority) and then clean up in your big metropolitan cities.

Are you a labour campaigner or something?
 
Some responses were barking but showed the strength of feeling about Brexit.

Heard one or two, in working-class areas, say they wanted Brexit done even if it utterly destroyed the NHS as they 'have never used it and won't ever use it'.
 
Just looking the popular vote and it's interesting how it translates into seats.

Tory vote share only increased by 1.2% (with one seat to declare).

With LDs, SNP, Greens all seeing some sort of increase.

But, crucially, in such a system, Labour's decreased by 7.8%

And it doesn’t matter a **** that more than half the country didn’t vote for the tories, they’re still stuck with 100% Tory rule for the next 5 years.

Hence why I refuse to vote.

what percentage of the total UK vote did the SNP get to end up with over 50 MPs? Lib Dem’s got 1 with a lot more voting for them. Greens and Brexit Party 5% between them and only 1 seat.
