• It's been a while, but if you remember, there was a general suspicion that the election was Corbyn's chance to hang himself and would either have to resign, or there would be a second leadership challenge, afterwards. Instead the Tories lost their majority, Labour increased it's number of seats, and on the whole received a popular vote which hadn't been seen since Blair in 1997. Even his harshest critics accepted the results as a (third) mandate for his leadership.

  • Can you explain what you mean by, on the whole received a popular vote?
    They still received less total votes I thought?
