How could our independent media and Labour (friends of Israel) spins this as disaster for Jeremy Corbyn and trumping victory for the PM...??

more to the point, - how does it affect free parking in England's backwaters??

It is a disaster for Corbyn because he didn't turn London into a sea of red as he predicted.

mid term everyone should be sick of the incumbents and vote out the equivalent councillors.

Corbyn won't get into No10 he isn't willing to press the button. With Vlad the invader on the prowl we need someone willing to do so.

+1

Rather surprised he did as well as he did.

Couple of things to keep in mind, the last GE he was on the Tories heels. At local elections he levelled with them. I'd be very worried at the next GE!

Clearly the momentum is with Corbyn.

Do keep up

It confirms that Corybn and his ilk have a limited appeal and Labour are very much on the path to being the party of urban areas rather than being able to appeal to the wider country.

At this time, when we have had austerity lead policies for nearly a decade, and are at the point of maximum BREXIT uncertainty Labour should have been making in-roads and proving they are capable of leading the country.

At the moment they just seem to be a glorified protest group whose only common approach is that "The West Is Wrong".

There are several upcoming factors which are going to make life harder for Labour.

Firstly there are boundary changes that should come into force prior to the next election. The consensus is that these give a slight advantage to the Tories.

The next election is not until 2022. We'll have exited the EU in 2019. Most of the pain will have been forgotten by then and the Tories will be able to say "We listened and we delivered".

The government has got the country's finances in a much better shape, coupled with the BREXIT dividend of approximately £12B a year they are going to be able to start spending and/or cutting taxes.

I expect them to start opening the money tap in the 2019 budget, which gives them plenty of time to put some money in peoples pockets to make them feel better off.

That's the real worry for DM, Sky and Labour friends of Isreal.
