British election: it was not just young voters who voted for Corbyn

One particular claim which is being almost universally made about the British election is that Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party supposedly owes its unexpectedly strong result to a tidal wave of support from young voters who supposedly put aside their usual apathy and voted for Labour and Corbyn in overwhelming numbers.
There has not yet been a proper breakdown of the voting in the election.  However I have to say that based on the evidence we currently have this looks to me most unlikely to be true.
