[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 195431, member: 33"] Means nothing now but Labour made gains in 2017 because they pledged to honour the Brexit result but the right wingers like Tony Blair, Yvette Cooper, Hilary Blair and the other People's Vote supporters forced Jeremy into going for a second referendum, thus allowing the party to be portrayed as a remain party and that cost them votes and seats in the north of Britain. It wasn't Corbyn that damaged Labour's chances, it was the Blairites. That said, yesterday Corbyn still managed to get a larger share of the vote than Ed Miliband achieved in 2015 and what Gordon Brown achieved in 2010, he even got more total votes that Blair achieved when he won the election in 2005 so I never subscribe to the opinion that people don't like Jeremy Corbyn. The real losers are the 4 million children who live in poverty in Britain that no party, other than Labour, even talked about during the election campaign. [/QUOTE]
