Their big mistake was not electing David Miliband, IMO. Credible, articulate and intelligent, and exuding a level of gravitas that his brother, and subsequently Corbyn, could only dream of.
I honestly don't believe either Corbyn or Johnson are fit to govern, albeit for very different reasons, but live in a Tory safe seat so it pretty much doesn't matter what I do on the day. In 2017, the Tory candidate got 65% of the vote. 2nd place was Labour with 17! Accompanying my daughter on her paper round occasionally for a bit of exercise, it's still very much a Daily Mail and Telegraph town, so I don't see this changing.
