Lib Dems to Labour= you’d rather have no deal than a GNU
Labour to Lib Dems= you’d rather have no deal than us
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Each time, apparently without irony, that they’re each accusing the other of exactly what they’re guilty of. And they’re both right.

Both have political priorities/incentives > Brexit. But they’re both have to desperately pretend they don’t
Some truth on both sides
1) LDs/GNU types seem to forget relative size of power blocs. They forget there is only GNU because Lab is providing nearly all the votes. Not unreasonable to expect Lab Leader to lead it.
2) Swinson is right to say numbers probably aren’t there for JC

But Swinson undermined herself/LDs by setting herself against Corbyn so much from the beginning. SNP/Green position was savvier.
Or rather, the SNP/Green/Plaid position was more intellectually consistent with the idea that for them, Brexit was the greatest evil. Swinson position implies Brexit is great evil but potentially not as great as Corbyn govt. which is fine. But seems right to articulate it.
