It's too bad as I think Corbyn really has good principles.
Like leaving the EU? Because that's his principled opinion. So the lack of clarity over Labour's Brexit position is somewhat unsurprising, no?

Yep you are right there... and I don't understand this fascination with leaving the EU as most Labour voters didn't want to leave the EU.
If Labour would say "We only leave it it doesn't make things worse for workers/people affected by the EU in a negative manner/people getting EU community funding (so many charities in NI need it)"
But they seem to really go for the people that want to leave the EU cos globalisation, but those steel and coal mines aren't coming back.
Don't get me wrong the EU is mostly a trade block and it needs to do a lot more to re-dive wealth within it. And its refugee position atm is very doubtful.
But Labour isn't in power ATM so they risk making things even worse.

Labour could take a leaf out of the book of the SNP and be very, very clear on Brexit.
Instead we get some wishy washy message and an amendment to invoke article 50 anyway, with no conditions of "but if we don't like the result of the negotiations, we veto leave".
