WITHIN hours of the EU parliamentary election results, Labour’s poor performance was being used as yet another stick with which to beat Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters.
His leadership is being blamed for the fall in Labour’s share of the vote in Britain from 25 per cent in 2014 to 14 per cent in 2019. The number of Labour MEPs has dropped from 20 to 10.
His detractors argue that Corbyn’s failure to come out against every form of Brexit and to call for a second EU referendum drove many previous Labour supporters into the arms of the Lib Dems and Greens on May 23.
