Clear as day. I said that to the wife the other day.... I don’t like Corbyn but it’s like watching a fly getting closer and closer to the sticky web!

An unnamed cabinet minister has already said that Corbyn will probably stick with it for long enough to allow him to say he tried but the PM wouldn’t compromise.
And the minister said that because it is what he would do in the same situation.
 
Just watched Laura Kuenssberg.
Is it just me who hears her say “The Prime Minister is trying to end the Brexit stalemate with the help of the Labour Party”, but sees a sub title, in my head that says “The Prime Minister is doing her best to end the Brexit stalemate, so if she fails to deliver, it’s the fault of Jeremy Corbyn.”

More insidious and potentially disastrous.

Corbyn wants a Customs Union. May has negotiated a Customs Union (but can't admit it). Nightmare scenario - they agree and whip enough MPs to get her deal (with tweaks to the Political Declaration) through.

Don't be fooled. Corbyn is a Leaver. (Cue someone telling us he said he voted Remain. To which I reply: Actions, not words.)

That's a pretty stupid game, IMO. Because the number of people who want a compromise Brexit is pretty small. And I think May is desperate enough to meet any demands he asks. So it'll just be seen as Corbyn playing games and jerking the moderate Tories/May around instead of serving the people. And rightly so.

I think this is happening because Corbyn legit is kind of pro-Brexit. And also legit kind of an asshole. He sees a chance for power and is angling his way in, trying to play both sides.

“Inequality is a terrible waste of time, a waste of people's resources”

“Some of the wisest people you meet are sweeping our streets”

“It is time we recognised the huge contribution that migration has made to the economic growth of this country”

Marxist!


I’ll give you another one;

Every person you meet today, knows something you don’t.

Old JC is a bit of a Zen master actually <ok>
