When the deal is voted down Mr Corbyn will stress that with no opportunity to force a general election, Article 50 must be extended, Britain did not vote for a disorderly exit from the European Union. The Prime Minister will reluctantly concede either a) People’s Vote or b) a general election.
Corbyn gets to say he would have respected the 2016 result except the preparations (or lack of) gave him no choice. Britain for the many, not the few, and he couldn’t accept no deal which made us poorer after years of austerity.

I like your posts. Refreshing on this forum ...
I have mentioned a few times that JC is an ardent Leaver who was seriously conflicted when asked to front the Remain campaign. I guess he thought he had played his cards just right when Leave crept over the line but he has a serious problem: his power base, who he claims to represent, are ardent Remainers.
As time has gone on, Labour are creeping to a People's Vote position and so JC is slowly being forced to confront his party's reality.

As the party gathers in Liverpool, is Corbyn’s promise to empower members coming back to haunt him?

It may meet his personal "Road to Damascus" moment in time to save the day or he may, again, spin out his obfuscation to get over the time. Time will tell .
There are two things we can all agree on:
1. make it stop
2. stop telling everyone "I know what i voted for"
