I think the thing to bear in mind about 2017 is that Corbyn - despite doing much better than expected - won 262 seats. That's four more seats than Gordon Brown got in 2010 - a result rightly considered to be a bit of a trumping and one which led to his immediate resignation.
I know for Corbyn loyalists 2017 was a great result, and he definitely performed better than expected. But by the morbid calculus of the FPTP UK voting system, it's winner take all, and we lost.
