Several citations, in fact.

Evidence that those problems are caused by immigration and not by other things plzkthxbye

Arguable but unproven points I am afraid in regards being the "fault" of immigration
- reducing labour supply can just as readily destroy jobs as push up wages
- income equality is nothing to do with immigration and all to do with capitalism
- productivity is mainly in regards to investment in technology, be careful what you wish for, massive increases in investment in tech can push up productivity but can also mean less jobs (which by default can push up productivity due to more work by less people)

As Corbyn lost the election will he be stepping down as Labour leader?

He's five points ahead in the same polls he was 20 points behind only a few weeks ago.

Personally I hope he doesn't make PM. I would much prefer another coalition along the lines of the 2010-2015 coalition.

This is now a race back to the centre. Over the weekend Corbyn was talking about bringing the Blairites back into the fold in order to extend the parties broader appeal and make up the numbers required to form a majority.

The Tory party need to do something similar, but it's going to be exceptionally difficult whilst they're in government and have a virtually non-existent majority even with DUP support.

Corbyn definitely has the upper hand right now. Why would he leave?

To be honest is not that he wouldn't have them, they didn't want to be associated with him as they thought it would damage their own careers
Hes basically offered them a way back again, maybe some will take him up this time. They need to reconcile the fact that they need to engage with all their voters/members and that the blairite days are parked from some years now.

Uhm in case you missed it - it was a Labour manifesto promise. Wonder how many people voting Labour even realised that Corbyn was planning on given traveling communities even more rights?

Uhm - because his Shadow Chancellor said he would if he lost the election. Either Corbyn must go or his Shadow Chancellor must.

I said May would have to go if she got less than a 60 majority a week ago. As she seems determined to stay that means I have to go as well?

Stop talking such utter rubbish. Can't you see how much of a laughing stock your making out of yourself?

TM said she needed a large majority to negotiate Brexit. Maybe we should call it off?
 
I love that the Conservatives are completely floundering, on the brink of self destructing, have teamed up with a group of religious lunatics who should have died out in 1690, are about to deliver the softest of soft brexits (or said religious lunatics will walk away) and yet people are still attacking Corbyn. If, as you say, this was a disaster and huge loss for Labour, why not just forget about them, and Corbyn, and prepare for the glorious future?
