WI: 2017 Al Quds March attacked

Not sure if this is too recent, but the guy who attacked the Finsbury Park Mosque back in June 2017, Darren Osborne, has now declared in court that he originally hired the van to murder a Labour politician in Rochdale, before changing his plans to target the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, who he believed would be at the annual Al Quds march in London- also saying that it "would have been even better", "like winning the lottery," if London Mayor Sadiq Khan had been present. But after "road blocks" in central London "thwarted their plans", he traveled to the Finsbury Park area, because "it was Jeremy Corbyn's constituency", where he carried out his actual attack.

So then, what if Osbourne had broken through the plastic bollards cordoning off the route, and followed through with his original plan to attack the 2017 Al Quds March- or, alternatively, waited for the next public event in London which Corbyn was scheduled to attend, the #NotOneDayMore March on July 1st? In either scenario, how much higher could the casualties of his terrorist van attack have potentially been, and what sort of public reaction would there have been in the aftermath of either attack?

Surely Sun newspaper would have tried to feed that like 'Corbyn was the source of problems all along, he can't even be stabbed without inflicting damage to the Britons'.

Not sure even the Sun would try and get away with that; they did express muted condolences for Jo Cox's murder, after all. The Daily Mail, on the other hand...

Сonfidence and supply deal was reached on 26 June, with the DUP backing the Conservative party. The Finsbury attacks took place on 19 June.

So, possible death of JC would happen just after the General Elections and BEFORE the majority government could be formed.

Wow, that's would be brilliant conspiracy theory about MI5 preventing Labour from forming the minority government.
