Didn't Corbyn deprive Theresa May of her Majority at the #GE2017?

That was not what Labour was elected on. People had the chance to vote for a more radical alternative in #GE2017 and #GE2019. They decided against that choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He dined out on the results pretending he was close to winning, which was a fantasy.
NOW he’s repackaging himself as pro-EU?
Where the hell was that energy when it actually mattered?
He used & let Remain

So Jeremy Corbyn is talking about rejoining the EU?
Excuse me?
Before you get swept up, remember what happened in #GE2017.
Millions of Remain voters backed Labour tactically, hoping to stop a hard Tory Brexit. Corbyn benefited hugely from that trust.
But what did he do after the GE?

Yeah, yeah ... so 'unelectable' he won 12+ million votes at #Ge2017 - more than Brown, Miliband and Starmer

True - Membership & Votes aren't necessarily connected
However - Corbyn did accrue 11-12 million votes at the #GE2017 - more than Brown+Miliband
Best wait and see.
Public are wise to smear ops now AND #Gaza is a massive issue for many AND Reform just ate the Tories in 12 months

At this time #OTD in 2017, I was pacing back and forth at home in Oxford, rechecking THAT exit poll, and repeating "HOLY SHIT!" like John Belushi in Animal House.
Betrayed, sabotaged, slandered... and we still beat the fuckers to a standstill. #GE2017 #OhJeremyCorbyn

Please also don't forget that at the end of the day, #EURef2016 was nothing but a real-size opinion poll (said the judge).
People confirmed their vote in #GE2017 and in #GE2019.
By giving the blond, racist, lying, corrupt charlatan a stomping majority, they gave him a mandate to end their FoM.

We can give you that for #EURef2016 ,granted.
But the Court said the ref wasn't legally binding;hence there's no direct link b/w the 52/48 vote&the decision to Leave 🇪🇺or SM/CU which was taken by successive Parlmts+Govs.
Everyone had a clue when they voted in #GE2017 & #GE2019 what their vote meant.

A Labour internal report into #GE2017 proved McNicol's treason. Yet he was rewarded with a peerage!
"Corbyn couldn't win" is a fiction concocted by right-wing Labour; aided by media, & especially The Guardian & BBC.
He "couldn't win" only because a cabal of centrists claimed that he couldn't.

Jeremy Corbyn was perfectly capable of winning #GE2017.
Party General Secretary Iain McNicol deliberately diverted election resources away from winnable marginals to avoid winning.
Right-wing "Labour" MPs openly campaigned against Jeremy in the election.
They deliberately threw the result.

Flying in the face of past history where Labour have failed to even make a coherent argument alone win one #Brexit #GE2017 #GE2019
They can't actually believe they won the last election? They didn't, the Tories lost it (possibly deliberately imo) there's a big difference

But then there was after #GE2010 the #ConDemCoaliton, the start of 14 years of Cons govt, a majority at #GE2015, minority govt #GE2017, a large majority at #GE2019.
For a century now there has been the on and off assertion that new generations coming in and ageing will see the end of the party.

The picture this paints is reasonably illuminating.

Not LibDem, anti-labour, no green engagement, promotion of far-right causes, hints of xenophobic nationalism. You voted Leave in the EU ref and voted Tory and Brexit Party in #GE2017 and #GE2019. https://t.co/DdG97xor47

Owen Jones' unabashed tribalism and his failure to imagine anything but a binary choice of government represents everything that is wrong with UK politics. #MakeVotesMatter #GE2017 www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/1...

#GE2017 MT @thhamilton: To sum up: there weren’t loads more votes from young people in the 2017 election. But *Labour* got a whole lot more votes from young people, and everyone else got fewer, and that helped Labour.
