It’s not just Brexitland and Remainia Jeremy Corbyn has to unite, but the generations and classes within the party, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Whatever happens next Thursday, an act of reconciliation will be necessary. Not between the winning and losing parties, but within one of them – bridging a divide that separates their supporters, both former and current, from each other. This gulf is not so much ideological as it is cultural or even tribal. The divide I have in mind is among the millions of people who either used to, or still do, identify themselves with Labour.

I’m sorry Freedland but if I can just say that you need to “own your shit”. The rampant and incessant smearing of Corbyn over the last 4 years enabled this Tory majority. Labour’s failure is more nuanced and Gary Younge’s view is closer to the truth.
