    What now for the activists — on and offline — who dedicated weeks, months and even years to fending off a Jeremy Corbyn victory?

    Their involvement garnered much support but also put them in the firing line for abuse, both virtual and otherwise.

    Euan Philipps, spokesman for Labour Against Antisemitism (LAAS), told the JC the last six weeks have been “extremely stressful.

    “We had stories that we wanted to make sure got into the public domain, we had to respond to developments in the campaign and, as much as we could, we had to try to challenge some of the misleading comments the Labour Party were putting out.

    “Alongside that, we all personally felt a huge strain worrying about what might happen if Jeremy Corbyn had got in,” he said.

    It was only once the exit poll was released on Thursday night that Mr Philipps became “aware of how heavy that anxiety weighed”.

    He said: “The realisation that the British public had rejected the politics of hate that Corbynism represented, and done so unequivocally, was a massive relief. I don’t think I was alone in feeling like that either.”



    ....ad nauseam...
