Corbyn has fucked this campaign up. He and/or his advisors refusal to see that nuance is (currently) dead in politics is destroying them. I have some sympathy for his position and it is good to see that someone has convictions and sticks to them, but in the current political climate it's an unelectable stance.
On Brexit the refusal to answer direct questions about how he would campaign looked shifty and could have been handled so much better.
On anti-semitism the lack of apology and lack of clear action is disastrous.
His style of leadership is completely at odds with what people want to see now. They know Johnson lies, but he does it with conviction and doubles down if challenged. Everything is so polarised, having a strong 'position' is more important than what the position is. Black and white - no room for nuance. Corbyn's tactics are 20 years out of date and rely on the (misplaced IMO) hope that a grassroots upswell will happen at the last minute.
It's going to be a tory landslide.
