"According to Owen Smith, Corbyn was asked 23 times if in a future referendum he would want Remain to be an option on the ballot paper. Corbyn declined to answer." Short version, it's a con. See @katyballs blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/0…

Shame that @AngelaRayner feels obliged to proclaim her unwavering loyalty to Corbyn after getting trolled by his supporters for saying something even-handed about Tony Blair
For the record I will never turn on Corbyn. When I stepped up it wasn’t riding any political fame (it wasn’t popular then) George Galloway is a bully who has no place in our party. He has stood against Labour candidates. I was against the war in Iraq but I stayed in my party. nitter.app/kelodymelody/status/11…
