The disastrous headlines for the Prime Minister this morning are the product of 2 years in which hard truths have been shrouded in meaningless rhetoric, & actively hidden. Those hard truths are being exposed now - as they always would have been. #Brexit. /1
Corbyn has failed to get close to those hard truths, failed to grasp the reality of the stark choices ahead and so failed to provide leadership both for the Labour Remainers and for Labour Leavers. Burying one’s head in the Brexit sand doesn’t make the problem go away. /2
When Corbyn says “Not really, no”, he should say which specific part of Jo Johnson’s detailed analysis he disagrees with and why. Where exactly does he think Johnson has got it wrong? Or does he agree with his analysis & say let’s do it anyway? /3 
It’s a failure of leadership on the most divisive issue in living memory, & the most consequential in the national interest. @UKLabour won’t be forgiven for not standing up to a disastrous Tory Brexit.
