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

It isnāt fact; itās opinion. Corbyn didnāt defeat the Tories after 7 years of austerity cos he didnāt 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 ā51 & lost. But a maj. of 174 is a landslide. š¤·š»āāļø

Historical revisionism. Whether you or I like it or not, Corbyn didnāt manage to defeat the desperately unpopular Theresa May with her āstrong and stableā bollocks, whereas Starmer won a landslide - seats are what counts. As I indicated, Iām as disgusted by Starmerās failures as much as anyone is.

Iām no Starmer fan, but to say the Tories were historically unpopular when Johnson won a landslide in 2019 isnāt strictly accurate, is it? That said, this government has thus far been desperately disappointing in almost every way.
