In the referendum immigration was evidently a topic which encouraged people to vote leave.
May is in charge of the current immigration policy (at least as regard to non EU).
Is not her complete non-engagement in the referendum and her inability to counter the immigration question far more culpable for the outcome than some others who are being blamed?
Why has the press (etc.) not blamed her?
I keep hearing she was mildly for Brexit. Has anyone actually pinned down what her views are?

Actually, something SH said earlier did have the ring of truth - I think there was a moment, a week or so ago, when Corbyn *was* genuinely vulnerable (even if much of the "bunker" talk from hacks was either exaggerated or, in some cases, outright made up) Had there been a thought out concerted move from Eagle - or somebody of similar politics - then, many in the party might have been willing to listen. Instead we had dithering and indecision, added to that the knowledge of people supposedly directing things behind the scenes - the utterly wretched godawful Chris Leslie, John "I bring amazing electoral success wherever I go, and by the way did I tell you that we should privatise the NHS?"
