I've posted a bit on #CorbynBrexitSpeech and inevitably got a stack of responses from the people who aren't exactly Labour or Corbyn "fans". A lot of it nonsense and fake news. So this Thread to correct that. Keep and use as a reference if you get this junk too..

The 10 most common, some say myths, other say downright blatant lies quickly covered off in this summary.
(Warning: the truth hurts, because you're angry at the truth, that doesn't make the truth wrong)

About that poll of Labour Party members, one word, cherrypicking. Yes, 72% of Labour members in that small sample wanted a Referendum. BUT 84% want a General Election & only 29% oppose Labour’s Brexit strategy.

And amazingly even after the #CorbynBrexitSpeech some intellectually vacant folks, many of whom work in the media still trot out "..but Labour's position isn't clear"!! How many times do they need telling, maybe if they watched heir own reports!

There's also that classic "how can Labour renegotiate, the EU won't renegotiate?". They would renegotiate for a major change, like a new government with a new mandate.

We shouldn't also shouldn't forget "..but there's no difference between Labour and the Tories on Brexit". Yes there is, there's also that little difference of a fundamentally different vision of for the country, one for the many not the few.

in the shadows at the moment but destined to be a hit "..if they lose the Vote of No Confidence (VONC) Labour will automatically back a 2nd vote". Well, the way VONCs work one isn't enough, you need to have a few gos to win

And finally, don't forget some people who engage you are trying to draw you in and wind you up. They're not interested in facts or anything rational so don't try to "win them over"..
