Labour's attempts to differentiate their position on Brexit and specifically

[Monty92]

I don't yet think it's dawned on the political establishment that what we saw two weeks ago was not so much a shift in the political landscape as a mass protest vote. Like most protest votes, it was ill-thought-out and incoherent. Labour may currently feel emboldened by it, but they would be well-advised not to treat those votes as any kind of endorsement of them or their policies.

Yes, although similar could very well be said of the Brexit vote.

Of course it could. That doesn't invalidate it, though. Any more than the seats Labour gained by the election are invalid because of it. My only point is that the febrile nature of politics at the moment makes any grand claims of vindication from the Labour party dubious in the extreme.

To be honest B, I think any claims you make to possessing political insight are a little dubious. I think it was a Conservative majority of at least 60 and Jezza repairing to the political wilderness for all eternity?

To be fair to Berni, literally the entire country was of pretty much the same view. Even the pollsters who had Lab and Con neck and neck on election day were highly dubious about their own stats.

Saying that, I started worrying months and months ago when Corbyn started talking about harnessing social media. So as with football, it turns out I am Awimb's true political sage.

I thought the true litmus was your sister ( does she have a spectacularly hairy growler btw)?
