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.

So cynical! Playing politics on such a crucial issue for this country. What he should be doing is advocating how he sees our future relationship with Europe and how best to go for Brexit (assuming he still wants to keep his pledge to honour the result of the referendum).
Instead of that, he just criticises, heckles and continues to act like a maverick back bencher. In truth, he doesn't know what the hell he is doing or where he's going. The man is a disgrace. With a better Opposition Leader showing a bit of Statesmanship, we might be in a better place now.
How you can defend this pathetic man, I do not know.
