Labour didn't win but they did far better than anyone expected. They are going forwards, the Tories have pressed the self destruct button as usual. Jezza needs to bring some of the former Labour big guns back, but they have to accept why he's been successful and that New Labour is history.

Yes a lot of Tories seem to have that sentiment. None of them said it before the election though, they thought she was a tactical genius ! They underestimated Corbyn and took the public for granted. The tide is turning, the next few months will be a shambles and the Tories will get the blame. Meanwhile Labours support will increase.

Think you are getting a little carried away. The Conservative campaign was shocking as was their manifesto and yet they still beat labour by 56 seats. It was also the highest turnout since 97 and the majority appear to have been students who leaned towards Labour.
The Conservatives also increased their share of the vote by 12.4% whereas Labour increased by 9.8%.
So, in my opinion, they had their chance and blew it.
