Yes, it's the Daily Mail, yes it's written by an ex-Labour MP, and yes, it's scathing...but is it wrong?

I'm genuinely interested as to whether there are any Corbyn supporters on AB, and if there are, why?

No judgement, just genuinely interested.

There are quite a few of us on here who are keen Corbyn supporters, secure in the knowledge that whilst he is at the helm we are safe from a Labour government, consisting of him, McDonnell, Abbot et alia.

Do you mean the actual card-carrying members or the Labour voters?
Because if you mean the latter it would confirm that the party has been hi-jacked by a minority, which seems to me (an erstwhile Labour voter) exactly what has happened.

There are plenty of Lefties on AB, it is just that most are too frightened to step up to the oche, when faced with questions such as this.

Oi, ano the old git, watch it with the insults, chum (“it is just that most are too frightened to step up to the oche, when faced with questions such as this”) - see mine of 10.17!

Bainbrig, //Quiet confidence and high principles do not enter into it, hence Corbyn's failure as a leader.//

A ‘Leaver’ who does his taskmasters’ bidding by supporting ‘Remain’. What a strange concept of ‘quiet confidence and high principles’ you have.

[bainbrig]

And are you implying that or inferring it naomi?

[naomi24]

Neither Bainbrig. I'm stating that - quite categorically.

What has Corbyn done lately to support Remaining?

"it is just that most are too frightened to step up to the oche, when faced with questions such as this. "

Because most of the attacks on the left revolve around Corbyn, and Corbyn doesn't align with the left that much (in my personal opinion)

Lefties can't be bothered to rise to satirical propaganda.

[naomi24]

Jim, //What has Corbyn done lately to support Remaining? //

'Lately'? Nice try. ;o)

[jim360]

Even if you extend it further back in time I don't see much to show his supporting it at all.

The majority of Labour members voted for Corbyn (by a large margin). The majority of voters in Labour constituencies voted Leave. But the majority of Labour MPs are Remainers.
The problem is not Corbyn, it is the MPs who are unrepresentative of their electors.

[Khandro]

Gromit; If in any given Labour constituency the voters opted to leave, and their MP votes in Parliament to remain, then he/she should be de-selected now, and certainly at the next G.E.
