1) Corbyn & #Brexit
Corbyn wants out of the EU
He's always wanted out of the EU
He wanted out when he "campaigned for Remain"
If he'd been honest and stepped aside to campaign on the leave side (leaving the way free for a "proper" Remainer we wouldn't be in this mess

2) the "Blairites" (or remain supporting MPs if you prefer) knew it,which is why they all resigned following the ref
Non Corbyn supporting Remainers knew it, which is why we've been so hostile to him
Gradually Corbyn supporters have realised it as well

3) some of those Corbyn supporters are no longer supporters as they realised his true #Brexit position
Some have decided that Corbyn is more important than Brexit
But most believed the "long game" theory
Brexit is bad, Corbyn is good
Ergo Corbyn must hate Brexit
He doesn't

4) it was never about whether we could nationalise the railways in the single market, analysing that as an explanation of Corbyn's motives is futile
It's about this - heavily subsidised state industry, the "commanding heights" of Bennite Seige economy, it always was

5) this by the way is not about Labour or even it's Leadership, who have sat on the fence and tried to be nuanced
Every single time Corbyn (not Labour) speaks, he confirms his personal hard #Brexit credentials
He never cared much for the party line on policy so why start now?

6) so for his remaining supporters, you have to ask yourself this - did he *really* have a temporary pro EU change of heart when challenged by the PLP after his election? Or did he just play along to stay in power?
So much for principles

7) so, if you are a Labour supporter but worried about hard brexit, the economy or more importantly rising extremism - Corbyn won't save you. He is part of the problem, slowly pushing for a harder Brexit than May
If you don't push him out - you doom the country to Moggs vision

8) Alternatively take your chances that the 70s economy that only exists now in Corbyn's head (rather than in any manifesto) wins out over Rees Mogg's race to the bottom Singapore economy.
Either way it's a radically different UK future which no-one actually voted for
