THERESA May asked for a landslide.
She got one: under her own feet.
The Tories have lost their Parliamentary majority in an Election May promised not to call, but U-turned because she thought Corbyn was "unelectable".
Labour has won more than 12 million votes, only a couple of hundred thousands behind the Tories, with 40% of the popular vote.
These voters defied the tsunami of abuse hurled at Corbyn by the gutter press, the 'quality' press, BBC, ITV, satellite TV, and Radio, to vote for what they perceive as Socialism.
May is refusing to fall on her sword, and, like a drowning man and a life-belt, is clinging to power, and hoping to cobble together a coalition with a handful of Northern Irish Tories.
She has no political or moral authority to carry on, but power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, as a wise man opined.
We now face a few months of political horse-trading, as May's lame duck Premiership limps on until an inevitable second General Election in the autumn.
Corbyn and Labour can look forward to a second bite at the cherry with confidence if they firm up their appeal with a full-blooded Socialist programme to dispossess the rich and Big Business in favour of working class people struggling day-to-day for survival.
For the millions, not the millionaires!
For the many, not the few!
James Roberts, Wallasey.
