I'm still not impressed by his Brexit wishy washiness and lack of proper opposition to it, but at least the UK now looked at his policies, which bar on Brexit cos wishful thinking, are mostly sound.
Sure, but again--what is Corbyn supposed to have done? Look where the Lib Dems got with their clear pro-Bremain stance. Corbyn clearly called it right--had he opposed 'Brexit', the election would have been about 'Brexit', and I can well imagine May having won then. As it was, Labour took the sting out of that immediately and was able to talk about its positive agenda. The 'Brexit' crisis wasn't of Labour's making and they would have plunged themselves into all sorts of misery (internal division etc.) if they'd come out in favour of Remain very strongly. It was a lose-lose situation on the face of it and they made the best of it by turning it into a conditional win.

He could have pointed out a hard brexit was disastrous and use that as a rational to not use a triple whip on article 50. He just bowled over, which may have been the right thing to do in hindsight.
I am also not impressed by the immigration ballix of Labour during the campaign (visa for EU nationals?) and their stance they can get the single market but limit EU freedom of movement, but they will soon find that out.
It wasn't off his own making obv. And the LidDems still got punished for being in government with the Tories...

May also really screwed this up. That helped him a lot.
But I wish him all the best. Labour is going back to be a more centre-left party, that I like.
