Labour's promises of total state control and free stuff by the bucketload got them the worst result since 1935. An absolute electoral disaster, which Corbyn's clique have maintained was not caused by Corbyn's doorstep toxicity, nor the loony policies, no; it was the media and Brexit.
Old far-left colleague Ken Livingstone - booted out of the party for...antisemitism - declared Jeremy Corbyn made no mistakes in the election.
Labour lost because Mr Corbyn suffered a “vile smear campaign” over the party's anti-semitism crisis.

All the fault of the media. He was the real winner...
Labour figures have reacted with dismay to Jeremy Corbyn’s insistence that Labour “won the argument” despite shedding 59 seats at the general election .
The party leader was under mounting pressure to quit quickly after he apologised but insisted he was "proud" that Labour's policies were popular with the public.

And now even at the moment of resignation Corbyn continues to dither. But there is a reason for dithering and hanging on, this time.

The plan is a to get a Corbyn continuity candidate elected as leader, ie new face, same policies and direction of travel. That candidate seems to be Rebecca Long Bailey.

Labour crisis: Jeremy Corbyn accused of ‘stitching up’ next Labour leader selection
JEREMY CORBYN was accused of trying to “stitch up” the selection of Labour’s next leader by limiting the group which will set out the process to a “cabal” of his supporters.
John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor, said the officers of the party’s National Executive Committee will meet on Monday to decide the timetable to electing the new leader. The committee is made up of a sub-group of senior members of Labour’s ruling body. Margaret Beckett, former foreign secretary who sits on the wider NEC committee, claimed the party should "listen to the electorate" rather than letting "people who ran the election decide".
She told the Daily Telegraph: “NEC officers are a handful of people who have been at the heart of the decisions that were made in the run up to the election and during the election.”
“They have an important constitutional role. But it’s important they recognise they made the most important decisions in the run up to the election. They have a responsibility to consider where we go from here.”
The move to exclude the full NEC from the process was criticised by NC members Alice Perry, Mark Ferguson and James Asser.
John Spellar MP wrote on Politics Home: “A proper post-mortem must take place – not carried out by NEC-appointed Momentum stooges.”

Corbyn, AOC etc will never admit getting it wrong. They have the solution:
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
