Yeah, this is what makes this such a significant victory. I genuinely didn’t think these groups existed in the way that Corbyn’s engaged them. Fundamentally I thought the vast majority of people who wanted to vote Labour and ought to vote Labour did already vote Labour. Turns out that’s profoundly not the case.
Also, we’re now in the reverse position to one of my fears coming into the campaign - that the positivity and engagement would ebb away if voter turnout increased with out measurable effect in terms of seats. Instead the effect is clear to the tune of (8?) ministerial scalps, the flipping of seats held for the best part of a century, and the utter humiliation of the sitting PM. It’s a hell of a first effort and I can’t see it going backwards.
