1) There is one reason why remainers have "bashed Corbyn" and its this

Because its always been obvious that Labour represented a large & growing Remain group, and that Corbyn was pro #Brexit, working against that Remain attitude

It's not rocket science

2) Corbyn "Remainers" have continously reinterpreted Corbyn's words, projected their beliefs onto him, pressed on "the long game", stated "he's just following policy", said "he hasn't the numbers" and generally gone through hoops to avoid the obvious truth - Corbyn is a brexiter

3) instead of making statements like "#FBPE is a Corbyn bashing cult" it would be more honest to recognise that Corbyn is against his party & membership on #Brexit, the biggest issue of the age, and always has been. And this is a disgrace

Defending him on this is also a disgrace

4) the role of Labour activists should be standing up for the vulnerable, the poorly paid & average working people, the ones who will be mostly impacted by #Brexit

Instead a whole network has sprung up to protect a 40 year backbench ideologue who's breaking the party

5) I attack Corbyn today for the same reason I attacked Corbyn when he called for the immediate trigger of Article 50, not because I carry the #FBPE tag but because he is and always has been an important #Brexit supporter leading an important Remain party
