1) The real #Brexit issue
Last night I posted a comment - what was the point of a Corbyn led Referendum

Numerous people got annoyed & several born again Labour commentators told me I needed to essentially face reality and support Corbyn

Hard nosed LD remainers are not the issue
2) there isn't 20% of the population who are LD remainers picking Johnson, just 20% of the population who can't vote Corbyn

The issue is *not* LD remainers

The issue is Labour supporters who will not drop Corbyn,despite all evidence, and who expect everyone else to fall in line
3) we've had 3 years of Corbyn barely moving an inch, punishing tactical voting and then crowing when that tactical voting returned him a better than expected loss in 2017, making no moves to actually stop Brexit and confusing the issue by offering new "jobs first" unicorns
4) and then we've had Labour supporters saying "but what can we do?" as if Corbyn's leadership was some immovable object, and Corbyn shills attacking everyone else for not getting in line and following his shifting position
5) Historians will not look back at the LDs or SNPs behaviour. They will ask why Labour members were complicit in the greatest betrayal of the working class in living memory, because they prioritised Corbyn over the Labour constituency and those who needed a strong Labour party
6) Johnson will win because Labour have put forward a deeply flawed and deeply unpopular old authoritarian who will never be popular

Not because a few 100k LDs couldn't hold their nose

That's the reality
