I found this pair of blog posts really interesting, written by the guy who led the Labour campaign on the Isle of Wight (one of the few areas to see an increased vote share for Labour). He talks about two elections, one for Leave votes and one for Remain, both of which Labour lost.
He’s a Corbyn fan, so while he doesn’t admit that people had any reason to hate Corbyn, the fact that they did hate him was a huge issue. He also points to an inability to get people out to vote, and a scattergun manifesto of freebies as an issue.
