He was coming from a long way back. His MPs were not supporting him and he was being pilloried by the press.Such a terrible manifesto AND a dismal campaign, yet the 'wildly popular" Comrade Corbyn still lost (and didn't even win the popular vote). How did that happen, Tommy. How???Oh dear. None of the tory manifesto will be implemented. Not one thing. And the remainers in the tory camp, that is most of them, will water down brexit till the point it becomes meaningless.
You lose girls !!
Yet despite that May lost a 20% lead in 3 weeks.
Its over for the tories. They will limp on for a few weeks with their terrorist friends and the next election will see them dumped.
Here is a video of your new friends terrorising little catholic schoolgirls. Enjoy !
Tommy: He [Comrade Corbyn] was coming from a long way back.
More an excuse than an explanation for why he lost ( the third general election in a row), Tommy.
Parties have made far more impressive come backs from far fewer seats many times over before.
Most recently, for example, 2010. The Conservatives had only 210 seats and gained 96 to end up at 306.
Want to try again?
The Leftists have no perspective about anything.
So let's put this into perspective in relation to previous British General Elections.
The Labour Party with Jeremy Corbyn last Friday gained just 29 seats, this giving them a total of 261 seats.
To put the Labour Party with Jeremy Corbyn's 261 seats into perspective and to illustrate that Jeremy Corbyn is one of the LEAST SUCCESSFUL Labour Party leaders and also to illustrate that Jeremy Corbyn is NOT advancing the Labour Party on ANY level in an Electoral sense, on the contrary even historically disaster results for the Labour Party such as the 1979 Election and the 1951 Election saw Labour leaders who were thrown out of Downing Street James Callaghan (269 seats) and Clement Attlee (295 seats) both perform better than Jeremy Corbyn.
The British General Election of 1979 in which Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan was thrown out.
James Callaghan = 269 seats - Jeremy Corbyn = 261 seats - Callaghan = 8 more seats than Corbyn - LOST.

Thanks, Lucy. Puts their 29 seats into perspective.
Great to see the black and white pics of our old politicians. Anthony Eden was quite a handsome gentleman
