Now i’m Not bojo’s Biggest fan. But set up, no set up. Doesn’t matter. It’s just an irrelevant premise. Even I can’t think of a way to blame Johnson for the state of the nhs.
 
I really don’t know why the question was persistently posed (not to me, admittedly) as to whether the Labour activist is also anti Brexit when not only was it blatantly obvious that would turn out to be the case, a simple google search would have confirmed the fact.

I think it was the assumption that a Labour activist would be a Remainer that caused the repeated challenge. Think the point he was trying to make is that you can't really make that assumption as Brexit is most certainly not following party lines. Not sure, just a guess on my part.
 
Estimates are that 30% of labour voters voted leave.

Corbyn was probably leave’s best weapon in the referendum.

All true. It was also that LL seemed to assume only a Remainer would give Johnson a hard time about a failing hospital. I asked LL because I was pretty sure he didn’t really know if he was.

Like I said, you obviously don't know what "LABOUR ACTIVIST" means.

You're not as well briefed as you think you are.

Labour activist can mean just a member (80% of whom are Remainer) but the really extreme activists who support the hard left and are running things (that’s why they are even trying to get rid of Tom Watson, who is no moderate Blairite), are very anti EU.

Just as anti EU as the ERG (though for very different reasons of course).

So no, you can’t assume labour activist = Remainer.
