'We have won the arguments and rewritten the terms of political debate'
Writing in The Observer, the Labour leader insisted the policies he set out were genuinely popular and had re-set the terms of the debate in the election.
‘There is no doubt that our policies are popular, from public ownership of rail and key utilities to a massive house-building programme and a pay rise for millions. The question is how can we succeed in future where we didn’t this time?’ Mr Corbyn was widely criticised in the aftermath of the election for failing to apologise as Labour’s hitherto impregnable ‘red wall’ of seats in the North, the Midlands and North Wales crumbled in the face of the Conservative onslaught.
‘We will learn the lessons of this defeat, above all by listening to lifelong Labour voters who we’ve lost in working-class communities,’ he said.The defeat plunged Labour into turmoil with some MPs and losing candidates turning on Mr Corbyn, saying his left-wing politics had cost them votes.
