Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party suffered a historic defeat in the UK general elections. Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton speak with Labour activist Joshua Y. Jackson, who says the failure of the party to get behind Brexit destroyed it, and handed victory to the far-right Conservatives and Boris Johnson.
Josh talks about how the centrists who still dominate Labour sabotaged Corbyn's campaign, and how the media-savvy "middle-class left" abandoned socialist working-class policies to not lose the approval of the commentariat.
