I think there was a lot of anti-Corbyn sentiment Joey but unfortunately a big part of that is that Tory campaigners are - sadly - a bit too good at getting into the heads of the GBP with character assassinations. They managed a similar feat with Milliband based on;

1) He looks like claymation
2) He looked a bit funny eating a sandwich one time


In the run up to the next GE they will 100% certainly concentrate not on policy or debate... but on making whoever the Labour PM candidate at the time is (probably Starmer, but you never know) "unelectable" in the minds of the public for [insert whatever reasons here].

HOPEFULLY the financial pain normal people are feeling currently is enough to over-ride that this time round, but I just wouldn't bank on it. I can absolutely see Joe Public saying "Well yeah my gas bill is £400 and my rent is £1000 on a monthly income of £1200 but apparently the Labour candidate has toenail fungus so..."
