It's almost as funny as Corbyn thinking he's somehow won the election. He's even drafting a Queen's speech at this very moment
Corybn can relax - all attention is on May and how awful she is for the time being. The Tories are one step away from all-out warfare.
With any luck they will forge ahead with their DUP deal and become even more unpopular, call a snap general election and hand victory on a plate to Labour.

Don't get me wrong, he certainly proved many of us wrong. There was a consensus by many that he was on course for a catastrophic defeat that would drive Labour into oblivion, and that clearly didn't happen.
However, people are overlooking an important point, which a Labour MP eluded to on the radio yesterday. Which is that Corbyn basically had an open goal, and he missed. May ran the worst campaign by a PM in living memory, Nigel Evans said the only thing missing from that cancerous manifesto was euthanasia for the over 70's.
I know Labour have the momentum, but I just see it as odd to celebrate 2nd place in these circumstances.

Bearing in mind that May started off as the most popular politician in recent British history, while Corybn was dreadfully unpopular. He did well to toally change perceptions in such a short space of time - and who knows, if the election campaign had gone on for a bit longer, they might have won. Look at the number of Tory marginal seats where the majority is under 1,000. All it would take is a 1-2% swing towards Labour for them to win dozens more seats.
A poll by Survation that cameout about 2 days after the election showed Labour on 45% and the Tories on 39%. Bearing in mind that they are the only pollster to come close to the actual result and were almost spot on for the 2015 election as well. I think if the Tories held another election soon they would lose, even if they replaced May.
