Corbyn's not pro-'Brexit'. He has re-iterated, even after Labour took the position is has (which is shifting) that he is personally in favour of 'remain and reform'. However, there has been a referendum decision (whatever stuff about illegal influencing of that is currently coming out) and they have said they have to respect that.
I still think they've successfully seized the high ground that way, as by getting bogged down in all that utter nonsense they would never have been able to build the policy platform that saw them do reasonably well in the last general election. May, bizarrely, wanted to make that election about '"Brexit" or not "Brexit", and they didn't take the bait. The Lib Dems imagined they might make electoral gains by pledging to 'reverse "Brexit"', and that didn't work for them.
Political issues go on the boil and then they go off the boil if you let them. If you keep up a major controversy, they will not go off the boil.
It's far from an ideal situation, but as I've said before, they've been negotiating a minefield.
