I wouldn't be reading a great deal into a by election with a bare 37% turnout and between only 1% and 3% for 2nd to 4th places in same.
The thread may be quiet because in a small part it is a near insignificant by election with a dire turnout.
Which on paper looks bad for all parties except the Conservatives, who in this particular seat are as near as it is possible to get to be, the guaranteed winners here no matter what.
What is the point of Corbyn supporters commenting anyway as you yourself will only likely shout them down and possibly try to ridicule them.

Fewer people voted Labour than there are Labour members in the area.
Labour is dead.
