I find it very difficult to read J.C's seat of judgement since he strikes me as a bufflehead, often diving and ducking from issues that are massively important to the economy of this country!

I don’t like Corbyn but I do respect him. He’s a good person who wants better for this country and among that is respecting democracy. Good on him.

Jeremy Corbyn could announce that air should be free and he would still face a backlash from his own MP’s.

Wow a political leader who believes in democracy!!!? What's he thinking?

The Corbyn liability needs immediate attention & prompt remediation - UKLabour interests should transcend the eccentric whims & caprices of any singular individual - especially one, more focused on exercising his disruptive capacity than simply representing his constituents.

Even Steptoe knows what's best for business

Because Brexit is Corbyn's fault - right?

His obsession with renationalising trains and the water industry are the reason he wants out of the EU

'Here keep voting until you vote correctly' is not going to go over well with any body that still believes even a little bit in democracy.

👎👎👹👹

He wants a GE and is clearly worried that a people’s vote could backfire, if leave were to win again. I guess he is playing the long game over short term populism. Not great for me living in France, but maybe better for the nation in the long run🤷‍♂️

A lot of Labour MPs are actually so bad at politics at a national level It’s not the time yet to back it leave voters have to change their mind organically our they become defensive and look for traitors

The great disaster that is Jeremy Corbyn. Funny to think Brexit is Labour's fault, but it really is. Firstly the unions appointment of Ed Miliband over David that paved the way for Cameron. And now an increasingly deluded, out of touch and hypocritical leadership....

Ah jeremycorbyn So much for your doing what the members want. CorbynOut

Editorial: Jeremy Corbyn, help give the people a Final Say on BrexitThe only point of seeking to delay Brexit would be to hold a new referendum.
