• I take your point, but are any of the struggles which they are undergoing currently going to ease if we plunge into a deep recession as our manufacturing and financial services industries leave?

    Anyway, this is academic - Corbyn could not beat May when he had the Remain vote (although she lost her majority).

    If Corbyn comes out for leave (and I disagree with Oliver very strongly here) then the floating voters that Labour gained last time will be up for grabs.

    If the election this November has say Jeremy Hunt or Hammond for the Tories with an A50 cancellation as a key part of their manifesto then Corbyn will lose again.

  • Can you stop using Hammond as a potential Tory leader, it’ll never happen.

  • I agree, but then I voted remain, and they voted leave!

    If Corbyn comes out with better leave deal than may, he will win. He only needs to campaign to stay if the Tories campaign to stay.
