Some things that won't improve Labours chances at the next election:
- blaming media bias
- blaming the 'ignorance' of working class voters who voted Tory
- blaming Brexit for this result
Some things that well:
- root and branch disavowal and eradication of anti-semitism
- a leader who is not tainted by negative associations
- a more pragmatic policy offering (i.e. no four day week and free broadband). If you really believe you can deliver the radical stuff, earn the right to do it in a second term, but deliver the bread and butter (NHS, education, social care) in the first term
- less rhetoric framed in Marxism and class war.
The tragedy of Corbyn / momentum is that they want a full socialist Utopia or nothing at all. But Britain is a small 'c' conservative country - that is the fundamental starting point you need to work from.

I don't think this is relevant.

Boris Johnson has just as many negative associations.

They were willfully ignored.

Doesn't the research suggest that it is?

The perception of the voters is that it's relevant, and the Tory campaign & leadership knew this and exploited this.

That's what wins elections.

Islamphobia and homophobia is rampant in the Tory, anti-Semitic is an excellent tool for election as it allow them to paint the Labour as the Jew-hating party.
