How is she not responsible? In the end she threw away the majority.

As for the young well throwing things at the electorate is what parties do. Why do you think the Conservatives offered the triple-lock for pensioners and largely isolated them from the austerity program? That's no different to Corbyn offering stuff to the young. You can't expect the young not to react while the government does nothing for them and then patronise them by saying they're being manipulated when someone actually addresses their concerns. If there is a lesson from Brexit then that was it!

Besides there was also a swing in middle-aged voters in urban areas and a decline in the turnout of older people. It wasn't all young people.

The difference being that the pensioners have the triple lock. Jeremy admits that he couldn't deliver on his promise.
