Never, ever before has such hate and venom been directed on the doorsteps throughout Britain against a party leader as was this case with Jeremy Corbyn.
The Labour Party leader was never going to be elected but insisted on running to satisfy his — hard to imagine — personal vanity, in addition to trying out his throwback politics.
This was an amazing election because British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is not a popular candidate. He is a known liar. That is usually wonderful grounds for an opposition — if not to win, then to make gains. The opposite happened. This is Labour's worst electoral defeat since 1935.
