    Corbyn could never an election though? So, I really do not see your point. The perverse argument is that Corbyn and his allies were also sabotaging the Labour party. They were nothing that was beneficial to the party or constructive in encouraging people to vote for Labour. Some of Corbyn’s policies were ofc good, but he carried so much baggage that he was untenable.

      Corbyn’s Labour was less than 2,500 votes from power in the 2017 election.

      The article I linked in the above comment about the leaked report gives a lot of evidence of the Blairites in the party doing what they could to lose labour votes.

      I think it’s reasonable to conclude that without their sabotage, Labour likely would have won that election with Corbyn as leader.
