  • I'm still not impressed by his Brexit wishy washiness and lack of proper opposition to it, but at least the UK now looked at his policies, which bar on Brexit cos wishful thinking, are mostly sound.

    Sure, but again--what is Corbyn supposed to have done? Look where the Lib Dems got with their clear pro-Bremain stance. Corbyn clearly called it right--had he opposed 'Brexit', the election would have been about 'Brexit', and I can well imagine May having won then. As it was, Labour took the sting out of that immediately and was able to talk about its positive agenda. The 'Brexit' crisis wasn't of Labour's making and they would have plunged themselves into all sorts of misery (internal division etc.) if they'd come out in favour of Remain very strongly. It was a lose-lose situation on the face of it and they made the best of it by turning it into a conditional win.
