No, because it is now a matter of record that Jeremy Corbyn deliberately "sabotaged" the Remain campaign.
Quietly, but very effectively, he won it for Leave in the decidedly non-Boris Johnson areas that won it for Leave.
By stepping back, and thus enabling those communities to speak for themselves.
Thereby making themselves the focus of political attention for the first time in nearly 40 years.

Sunderland shook the money markets. Say that again. Sunderland shook the money markets.
Jeremy Corbyn made that possible.
Those communities won. Therefore, Jeremy Corbyn won.
Are you living in a fantasy world? There is no evidence of any such thing.
ReplyDeleteCertainly Jeremy had his differences with the Blairite-led Labour remain campaign, but to suggest some sort of secret agenda is ludicrous and an insult to his honour.
I do not believe Jeremy Corbyn would lie to this country. Why support him if he would?
Incidentally, Labour voters backed remain by a wide margin.

DeleteThose people have no credibility. They tell 12 lies before breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Corbyn stepped back and allowed working-class and non-metropolitan opinion to be heard. Not least in Phil Wilson's constituency.
DeleteWilson's article only went up at "17.52 BST", but they have already had to close the comments on it.
He did not step back. He made numerous speeches, gave interviews and was involved in many ways. You know full well the Blairites would never seen anything he could do to be sufficient.
ReplyDeleteYou ought to be pleased. I am. I don't understand why you are not.
DeleteHe certainly didn't step back, and I saw him on TV giving a speech to London Pride saying he gave everything for the Remain campaign.
ReplyDeleteHe's not that much of a liar.
That was after the event.
DeleteHe gave all he could. Not physically. But morally, for a cause in which he did not really believe. He did as much as anyone can in that situation. But no more.
And he knew that that would not be enough.
David is quite right: patriots of all parties, and none, noted Corbyn's good work last week.
ReplyDeleteI have no illusions about the EU, but you ask all those economists who are advising John McDonnell what they think.
ReplyDeleteI can't vote for something that will make our people worse off.
Peter Hitchens was right the first time, he said months ago he'd be amazed if Britain ever actually left the EU. There is no sign of that happening, nobody is even talking about it.
