Sorry I seem to have misrepresented myself. Corbyn was an important reason why Labour couldn't win. Of course. His antipathy towards Europe meant he wasn't a lightening rod for remainers (versus May). I lost any hope I had he might have the wit to realize labour is a broad church and requires wise leadership when, days after he was elected leader, he faked a lost signal when he couldn't deal with an interview, and then dithered over announcements, finally dithering over anti-Semitism. I appreciate that Johnson hid in a freezer, and I appreciate labour got millions of votes when Corbyn was leader (and indeed won the general election by a landslide, according to Corbyn supporters), but it was what it was.
My main point is that Corbyn, having lost two general elections, left the Tories with the working majority that made them (the Tories) entirely responsible for what happened to our country. Had things worked out well for the Tories people wouldn't now be congratulating Corbyn's labour party (or indeed Starmer's) for being the effective opposition that kept the Tories honest. They would be praising the Tories for doing a terrific job. As it should be. The opposite is the case so the buck has to stop with the Tories.
(And of course I wish, I just wish that everything could have been completely different, to quote Richard Richard).
