You’re right about Farage and Johnst, but Corbyn was always anti-EU

not true. He campaigned for remain. Acknowledging that the EU had weaknesses as well as strengths he gave the it 7.5 out of 10, which is a fair assessment. He did not campaign for Leave.

Corbyn went on holiday during the remain campaign Politicians taking holidays? Perfectly reasonable, even desirable. But for a national party leader to go on holiday, as Jeremy Corbyn did, during a national election campaign? That’s just about unheard of in our modern democracy. - Mark Pack

Anything I read by or about Corbyn at the time said he was anti-EU. If he had been actively pro-EU I’d have voted for him.

Well, there were two narratives running at the same time. One was that he was a secret Brexiteer, the other that he was a fanatical remainer who would ignore the referendum. Funny how people heard what they wanted to hear and nothing else even as those two contradictory narratives were in play.

Politics is a slimy business - nobody seems to tell the truth. I was living in France at the time so didn’t read much UK news but did hear he supported leaving EU.

No, disinformation. The thing to remember about Corbyn is that you need to listen to what he says, not what others say he says. Private Eye did a great skit on this at the time by doing no more than 'What Corbyn said' next to 'What the papers said he said'. evolvepolitics.com/jo-swinson-f...

What's incredible is that list was made in September 2015. Imagine what it would have looked like four years later.

Corbyn was a bad leader in this regard. If people said stupid things about him, he ignored it. So the mud stuck and got thicker, but he never learned. He still hasn't learned. It's one way he never made the transition from backbench activist to party leader.

You’re right - he is/was one of good guys but should have had a good PR person to translate his thoughts into media speak

In seeking to be his replacement in the leadership contest, RLB - his closest ally - said one of the first things she would set up if she won was a rebuttals unit. 🤭
