at this point, it's becoming increasingly hard to see Corbyn as anything other than Nigel Farage's representative on the left
only without Farage's straightforwardness or plain speaking 🤨

@thamesynne *the deepest of sighs* what's he done now?
ukpol
@thamesynne what, whyyyy
is this even in line with party policy???
ukpol
@lambdagrrl god alone knows... here's the Reuters story
i have no idea what's going on, except that corbyn probably just resigned the leadership - but doesn't know it yet
ukpol
@thamesynne corbyn always seems to pick the absolute worst time for clarity
like maybe if he'd said this a few weeks ago he could've clawed away some brexit votes. not that I think it's a particularly good position to take, but even if I did I don't see what he gains by taking it at this particular point
ukpol
@thamesynne the tory party is about to implode, why is he not just sitting back to watch the fireworks
ukpol
@lambdagrrl i've noticed something about corbyn's grasp of strategy... 🤦♀️
ukpol
@lambdagrrl flatly rejected the idea that a second referendum would have a Remain option
