“It all failed and failed utterly. And in the ruins lie the shattered hopes of those who need a Labour government to fight for them but who instead have a Tory government with a huge majority for the next five years.”

“Let us be clear, Jeremy Corbyn and his most vocal backers had complete command of the Labour agenda. They controlled the national executive, the policymaking process, the manifesto and the campaign. Nobody got in their way. Nobody stopped them.”
“Mr Corbyn acknowledged this when at the launch of the manifesto he said this was the kind of programme that for years had been blocked by elites. But it wasn’t blocked by elites. It was rejected by the voters.” 
I suspect I’m not alone in thinking that those who control the party, control the NEC and those who control key Union votes are too arrogant, too rigid and too f***ing blinded by the belief in their own brilliance that they will pull out all stops to just rinse and repeat.
