Corbyn decided to step down for a new leader of the Labour Party. However, he refuses to apologize for Labour's policies, saying that the party won the arguments and lost because Britons voted based on whether to leave the EU.

It was foolish of them to vote that way, and they will suffer greatly as a result. The only party that had a chance of making departure from the EU an opportunity for a better Britain was Labour. The Tories are already planning to use the departure as an opportunity to surrender to US businesses, through business-supremacy treaties that will lock in hunger, sickness and homelessness.

Many British voters were observed to hate Corbyn personally.

The article supposes that this is due to something bad about Corbyn, but omits to tell us what that might be. This leads me to suspect it wasn't due to anything real about Corbyn, but rather the result of a successful propaganda campaign against him, which was supported both by centrists and the Tories.

One Labour politician reports that working-class Britons disbelieved Labour because it said it would campaign for their rights and well-being. In other words, they are so cynical that it becomes masochism.

She seems to be a centrist, and I fear this is an argument for Labour to become centrist and aim for so little that cynics will trust it.
