One thing I will say for Corbyn is that his framing of Lib Dems as the problem to forming a GNU has been extraordinarily effective, despite it not being true.
The Lib Dem’s have been an obstacle to a soft Brexit consistently. They voted against backing a custom union (lost by one vote), they stood in EU elections promising remain (a referendum asking; revoke, extension, no deal - which ... let’s be honest ... is a stitch-up to ensure remain).
They’re doing a great job of ensuring leaving with no deal.

Well, they've been pro-remain, which is at least a consistent position. And while I'm not saying they've made no mistakes, when you compare it to the mistakes Labour have made around Brexit they're small fry. But factually I accept everything you're saying, except to say that your conclusion is incomplete. If Lib Dems are ensuring we leave with No Deal, Labour as the official opposition are triply damned.
His letter WAS nonsense. First rule of politics: learn to count.
