It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World

Charismatic leaders seem to be the most important there. In some ways this is about dissecting the Brittish election - Labour seemed to do everything right, and Corbyn was fine to good. But there just wasn't enough inspiration to get them even close to the line.

Charismatic leaders are basically a cheat code to getting whatever you they want. But this seems like a major misreading of what happened in the UK election.

The tl,dr seems to be that Labour got on the wrong side of Brexit and got hosed. It was an issue that didn't just split Labour, but overrode party loyalty for people who previous voted Labour.
