It's more complicated than that though. I assume what he's referring to is the disillusionment of the traditional, working class, labour voters with the party and the way they've been poached by the far right. If you look at a lot of the voters that voted out then that's where they're located.
It's not a recent thing, and certainly didn't start with Corbyn (although he may have accelerated it).
It's a step remove from the active Brexit campaigning but I would say it had an impact.

I agree that it's neither recent, nor started with our lord and saviour JC, but is there any reason why you think he would have accelerated disillusionment amongst the working classes?
There have been polls (I think on here somewhere) showing Labour's approval rating amongst traditional working class dropping at a greater rate since JC came in.
I guess it's arguable whether a lower approval rating does signify disillusionment.
