Remain ‘CIVIL-WAR’ as Jo Swinson SLAMS Jeremy Corbyn ‘He’s a Brexiteer’

However, it would appear that friendly fire may now be occurring. Following an article published by the Guardian, which said that Jeremy Corbyn has still to fully commit and is remaining neutral on the possibility of a second referendum, the Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson pulled no punches saying on Twitter that “Jeremy Corbyn didn’t fight to remain in 2016, and he won’t fight for remain now. He wants to deliver a Labour Brexit because he is a Brexiteer.” Whilst Mr Corbyn denies voting Leave in the referendum many are highly sceptical.

The book released by Tom Bower in 2018 which is highly critical of Mr Corbyn states with little ambiguity that Mr Corbyn has been throughout his career ideologically against the EU. Mr Bower states that “Both Corbyn and McDonnell wanted to campaign for Britain to leave”. It is becoming increasingly difficult to see a scenario in which Mr Corbyn would be able to draw support for him to be the PM of a unity government.

In spite all of this Mr Corbyn is adamant that “In a general election, we will put forward the opportunity for people in this country to have the final say,” he said on Monday. “It is not a rerun of 2016. It is simply saying the people of this country should make the final decision.” As a result of the Labour Party membership being decisively pro-remain. Jeremy Corbyn‘s own position in the Labour Party is far from secure.
