Looks like momentum took the labour bus straight into a brick wall. There were few survivors!

Magic grandad's election manifesto compared favourably with that of foot
He fought the 1983 general election on a hard-left manifesto famously dubbed “the longest suicide note in history” and saw his party’s worst result since the first world war.

After his resignation, it took Labour 14 years to deal with the far left and rebuild itself until it was capable of challenging the Conservative Party.

Given the similarities between the two leaders and Labour being set for an even worse defeat than Mr Foot, Mr Corbyn might have just laid the foundations for 14 years or more of uninterrupted Tory government.

Whoopy Doo.
