I was one of those who supported Corbyn's proposals for a customs union Brexit with a confirmatory referendum.(No Remain option.) Sadly, Starmer had his way and so lost Labour the Red Wall. He is pretending to move on because he wrecked Labour's support in Leave-voting Labour strongholds. He needs to regain their vote, so never discusses Brexit. He is an even worse lying sh** than Johnson, so don't go by anything he says.

Wow … we’re doing all the greatest hits this morning
I’m curious how the referendum was the ‘opposite’ of how democracy should work. Perhaps you could fill in some facts here? As far as I can see it was a simple binary vote with a clear proposition, argued over by well-regulated campaigns on both sides leading to a free and fair vote, tallied in process that was both transparent and well run. A summary of international observers’ responses is here:

The fact that you supported the concept of a confirmatory referendum, despite this not forming part of any proposal prior to the referendum being held, suggests to me that you were less likely to ‘move on’ than you have suggested.
