I wonder exactly what the process was - that group join, bring some different priorities (probably more of a focus on social issues as well as traditional left / right politics) and then the vote ebbs away again by 2 years later.
Is that those young people leaving feeling disillusioned, or the voters who had stuck with lab until then being put off?
If the latter, then isn't there a real risk the same happens (for different policy changes) to the Tories, who are merrily changing policies to get the so called red wall?

Thing is Labour briefly mobilised the hopes of the younger generation, who swelled the membership.
Then everyone called them entryists / cultists / idealists / antisemites / etc.
