Scotland was traditional Lab. territory. Not exactly the Home Counties, is it?

It isn’t fact; it’s opinion. Corbyn didn’t defeat the Tories after 7 years of austerity cos he didn’t bother to get out to try and win over the doubters. All his rallies were on home turf - Liverpool, Newcastle, Glastonbury. Attlee won the pop. vote in ā€˜51 & lost. But a maj. of 174 is a landslide. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Historical revisionism. Whether you or I like it or not, Corbyn didn’t manage to defeat the desperately unpopular Theresa May with her ā€˜strong and stable’ bollocks, whereas Starmer won a landslide - seats are what counts. As I indicated, I’m as disgusted by Starmer’s failures as much as anyone is.

I’m no Starmer fan, but to say the Tories were historically unpopular when Johnson won a landslide in 2019 isn’t strictly accurate, is it? That said, this government has thus far been desperately disappointing in almost every way.
