The point is, labour should be waging an aggressive campaign in the country right now that makes this argument at the centrists, to create pressure on them to suck up voting in a temporary pre-election minority labour govt.
Labour is the second largest party w 40% of the last election's vote, it would be pandering to the height of self-important delusion - and setting a precedent - to let stray tories, and a rump liberal party w 7.4%, think they get to dictate who governs in this parliament.
What is true is that this is a problem of Labour's own making. We should have been firmly establishing ourselves as the leading anti-brexit force from the get-go. If we'd done the right thing earlier, it would now be unthinkable for the centrists to be playing the games they are.
So while I disagree with my comrade @michael_chessum on this particular point, those denouncing him for fighting to stop brexit need to pause and recognise that their support for the labour leadership's conservative, myopic fudging helped get us into this mess.
