1) I heard Corbyn describe no #brexit in Parliament as "a threat", even though it's what Labour membership wants.

I've read him saying "we can't stop it"

I saw him post "as we leave the EU..." the day after 750k marched for a #PeoplesVote

2) I've watched Corbyn reinforce & support Brexit whenever it looked under threat. I've watched him dodge the simple question "will Brexit make us better off?" 5 times.

I've seen him playing the "immigrants taking our jobs" line
3) I've watched all the way back to "we must invoke A50 now" and back further still, to Corbyn's Sky Q&A appearance just before the ref, where he spent more time criticizing the EU than supporting it, the "7 on 10" half hearted comments
4) I could go on but here's my point. Corbyn was elected by people who are mostly pro EU, they swept him into power - and he's been pushing for Brexit ever since

I've argued with some of those people on the "long game", then seen them switch as they finally accept what he is
5) I've seen them desperately claim "but Labour voters voted 66% for Remain, that's down to Corbyn", not wanting to see the tragedy of a pro EU Labour party led by an Anti EU charlatan.
6) the fact is that yes, the Remain campaign was rubbish, but the vote was so close & we know that many Labour voters at the time just didn't know what Labour's position was on Brexit. That is down to the Leader.
7) Corbyn carries unique blame for Brexit because he was the *only* Leader who was faking his pro EU position. A decent leader, with an authentic pro EU message, would have swung that vote by that crucial 2%, and we wouldn't be in this mess
8) as a Labour supporter, as a *Corbyn* supporter, one can't just consider the lastest comments to support Brexit but the whole picture, from start to finish, a consistent story of being anti EU, pretending briefly to be pro, and then back to anti again, in everything he says
9) at this point Corbyn is out of his depth & out of touch with the party. He's shedding youth support & is practically invisible at this crucial time.

He's a blocker on #PeoplesVote & colluding on running the clock down

He *must* go, before it's too late
