The fact that Labour scored fewer votes in 2024 than in 2017 or 2019 isn't a pointer to failure in this election, the failure was in the last two in which votes were accumulated under FPTP in areas they weren't needed.

And no, 2024 didn't see a huge upswing in Labour votes but a collapse in Tory support. That has lots of implications, but it doesn't delegitimise the result. If the left wants to rebuild people need to move on from Corbyn era Labour - that strategy objectively failed. Think of another!
