No need for @STVNews to undermine Corbyn with words he doesn't use. The words he does - Osborne-style ugly and teleological half-truths - are quite bad enough.
It's stuff like this that makes it so hard to get behind Corbyn. Evidence, nuance, honesty - all cast aside for some half-remembered ideology. He is, in this respect, the very mirror of @Jacob_Rees_Mogg.
When will data emerge to support Corbyn's nativist claim that leaving the EU and restricting free movement will drive up wages? Since June 16 net EU migration has slumped and real wages have fallen too.
Or is this just dog whistle?
(L EU migration, R real wages both ONS).

When will @jeremycorbyn tell the truth about the huge hit to public finances that even the Goverment admits Brexit will occasion? And about how it will enforce austerity?
When will @jeremycorbyn tell the truth about how it is the depressed Labour heartlands that will be smashed by Brexit. The Government may not care. But why would he betray those constituencies?
When will @jeremycorbyn tell the truth about how tiny will be the fall in EU migration? Or is it Labour's intention to be even more ugly and xenophobic than the Conservative Party?
And worst of all? Check out this juxtaposition. Accidental - or a clever propagandist's little bone for the hard right?
