very hard to see how we'd be in quite the mess we are.
This I hear constantly. Mostly from those who voted to leave. But all of this was foreseeable.
Corbyn is torn between his union leaders instruction to honour the referendum and his membership who would like a people’s vote. As someone who’d rather leave the EU, this isn’t comfortable for him.
May’s way forward is to promise her promt departure and relinquish power to parliament who will back a people’s vote eventually. As someone who would rather remain in the EU, she’s maybe ok with this?

So an entirely predictable outcome, and now May is in a position where she can have the moral high ground over Corbyn because of winning the vote.
He had the political advantage for 24hrs before he lost it again.
He's utterly useless as a leader of the opposition, and as any kind of meaningful opposition to the government's autocratic and disastrous handling of brexit.
If labour had a better leader, very hard to see how we'd be in quite the mess we are.
