It's hard to know how the leave genie could have been put back in its bottle - what works when fighting populism? It's clear that the message that "it's not your fault, it's immigrants - let's get rid of them to fix everything" worked.
I also think that Corbyn, and Labour under Corbyn, didn't seem relevant to working class voters.
I wonder, with a move to a more American society, where the least well off are often the most right wing, whether there actually is a route back to the traditional Labour core vote now.
