The problem for Corbyn is to switch now, or to give specific answers now, leaves him politically exposed for months.
If, and it’s a big if, Corbyn is going to favour a People’s Vote, delay and/or remain it has to be done at the very last possible moment. Any sooner looks like a calculated political shift.
At the last minute he gets to play lines about the Tories leaving us unprepared, a shambles throughout negotiations, nobody votes to make themselves poorer, etc. He can say he called multiple times for a General Election that never happened. Sorry folks, I’d no other option but to send this back to the people.
Now whether any of the above is actually true is irrelevant- those are the lines to take politically.

As with the Irish border there are a lot of people who can talk and talk but not a lot who can do.

Indeed.
People are kidding themselves on that while we sent over a myriad of Brexit Secretaries with no clear vision, no plan and no contingencies that the EU haven’t been working around the clock for over two years to develop a strategy to give us roughly these three options.
