I don't think it had anything to do with Johnson. It was because of Brexit. Something like 75% of Labour marginals voted to leave in 2016, so it was political suicide for Labour to try and push for another referendum in 2019.

Spot on.
Corbyn sat on the fence and pretty much kept quiet on the whole Brexit issue, apart from expressing concerns on workers rights but, he was no fan of the EU, which gave "vote leave" a free run against an already unpopular PM (Cameron) and leave certainly ran the better campaign, albeit riddled with lies and false claims, many of which are being seen for what they were but, alas it's too late and N. Ireland has been right royally shafted and we are left with a joke PM "leading" the country.
We'd be better off with Pepper Pig in charge.

Another step towards private health care. Hope you all and your kids and your grandkids will have enough money to cope.

Amazing what's just been voted through and not a single bit of news reporting from the totally at-heel BBC. This isn't what people voted for, isn't what the Tories ran on. It's quite shameless really.

The Tories have no sense of shame, they think it’s too difficult to live on 82 grand a year without a second job.

I'm quite shocked and surprised it's only the Tories that have a second job

The standard line of the resolute defender of the Tory party. To which the answer is, almost certainly.
