THREAD: no final victory, no final defeat.

There has never been such an all pervasive, coordinated, underhand operation to rig an election as occurred with #GE19
The huge strides achieved by Corbyn since he began Labour's long overdue journey back to the left must continue. 1/

It is quite phenomenal that he's achieved so much, with that cloud of arrows blocking out the sun, many from his own inherited set of Blairite charlatans. Thru wave after wave of despicable sabotage he stood strong. They questioned his mettle, he never, ever stumbled. Granite. 2/

What made this happen was not the antisemitism smears concocted by Israeli assets like Shai Masot, nor the hack journo stream of bullshit about IRA support, or faking train problems or not liking poppies enough, all of that could've been surpassed. It was PV wot done it. 3/

The autopsy will consider his strategic choices, but he is 1 man, without the luxury of a supportive PLP. He held out against PV till the bitter end, till the EU & Council elex threatened much bigger losses to the LDs if he did not adopt it, than would be lost to BP if he did. 3/

In the end, too few heard the message, or cared to understand, that actually Labour's route to brexit was cleaner, quicker & healthier. A public mandate for a deal would mean no more debate in parl.
Would Blairites, Tories or the remain parties vote a Labour deal thru? 4/

JC would've preferred to campaign on getting a better deal once in gov, but the fervour whipped up around a 'final say' by his own MPs, along with fake-left media meant the LDs stood to gain hugely by being the only party offering a route out of the perceived mess of brexit. 5/

In the end, a fair pitch to appeal to everyone was a harder sell than a straight down the barrel, 'get it done' message aimed at half the electorate. BJ doesn't concern himself w/ nuance, or mediation, or even being challenged much on the myriad problems his deal will present. 6/

So now the real show begins. Now the Tories will actually have to try & curate their awful, UK-dissecting deal, their days are truly numbered. After stalling on purpose, twice, to use brexit as a weapon in GEs, finally the spotlight will be on what they actually do with it. 7/

They spent 3.5 years refusing to get off the pot. And their shit is gonna stink worse than anyone can imagine. There will be no spin that can hide the damage to businesses, or the fact their economic model will still require a steady influx of immigrants. 8/

N. Ireland will hate this deal, if it even gets thru parl, & Scotland will push harder than ever for a new indy ref. And when that happens, Yes will win. BJ will be the Unionist who split up the Union. All of this mess and so much more will coincide with the death of the MSM. 9/

Print media is on its last legs, the BBCs last vestiges of respect are spent embers on a dying bonfire of vanities. The new generation barely even watches old media, they get their news how and when they want it, indie media & crowd sourced. JC won the net battle. Hands down. 10/

So it seems obvious the Tories are headed for calamity beyond even the last few years, you ain't seen nothin yet.
With no more excuses to delay, no more passin the buck, these 'safe hands' must actually negotiate the biggest economic change in our history. They're petrified. 11/

Labour wasn't perfect. JC walked into a snake pit. A hand picked cabal of fake socialists, comfortable in their mediocrity, spawn of the devil Blair, Thatchers "greatest achievement". JCs job was to move the party back towards the left without letting them split it in half. 12/

That he seemed to make frustrating concessions at times was a measure of his focus on making that shift a genuine, organic one. Not top down. Not fragile to splits & coups, he weathered them all. Till the members select better mercenaries, his battle plan was compromised. 13/

Of course the system by which those selections were made ended up also being abused. This battle was fought on so many fronts, such was the depth of right wing control within the party, bedded in for 40yrs. 14/

So for those who spent the last few naysaying the progress he made, I'm still waiting for that easy plan of how he could have clicked his fingers & got us to the unified, purebred socialist, anti-EU party that you (and I) wanted. Funny how the worst critics expect the most. 15/

Corbyn kept his powder dry in all the petty little skirmishes along the way, intended to keep him mired in obscure in-fighting. His legacy is one of positivity, hope, sincerity & a focus on transformative policy.
And he began a crucial redemocratisation of the party. 16/

Before Corbyn, Labour conferences were dull & detached. A series of pronouncements from a leadership that had little time for debate.

It was a world transformed, that saw him win pivotal battles w/ support from the membership, the only body with authority to silence the PLP. 17/

The strange brew of hardcore socialists on twitter who dont seem to want a socialist gov, never give credit for this years win. Jeremy had a majority remain delegation support his neutral brexit motion & reject a remain in all circs motion. JC fought the battles he could win. 18/

So many obfuscation were thrown at him, he stayed ahead of the game. Despite most of parliament desperate for him to disappear, he positioned himself as the voice of the majority, opposing no deal & advocating a customs union. The only way to command support for a VoNC. 19/

That day may still come, if he stays. I hope he asks the membership, rather than stands down. I hope they put their best challenger against him. This time he can say "I tried to warn u. But we did it your way, we backed a 2nd ref & it lost us the GE. Now its my way, baby" 20/

See above thread. This is the fault of Labour centrists who constantly agitated for a 2nd ref and remain while our official democratically endorsed position was to respect the ref & agree a better deal. Corbyn is not the problem. Never was. #ExitPolls #GE2019 21/
