So... with Corbyn stepping down, Labour will definitely win the next election? All they have to do is everything the same apart from that and it's sorted? Mmm.

Corbyn did fuck up catastrophically on a number of fronts, rarely if ever including those he's accused of fucking up on. That said, this particular UK electorate has got to be one of the dumbest in the history of ever. The only explicitly pro-austerity party wins, massively?

I partly agree with this, if you drop the racism angle and focus purely on the question of localism/internationalism. Internationalist policies have thoroughly fucked the UK economy. But the Tories are internationalists in drag who are also furthering austerity, so... moronic.
