Jeremy Corbyn  tears into the Tories over incoherent Brexit bumbling
A frequent criticism of  Jeremy Corbyn  and the revitalised  principled  post-Blair Labour Party is their lack of clarity on Brexit -- some speculated that  Corbyn  felt that Brexit would  at least  allow for re-nationalisation of privatised industries  something the EU might block -- but at Wednesday's Prime Minister's Questions  Corbyn shredded Theresa May and the Tories with a series of relentless  devastating questions about the slow-motion train-wreck that is the Tories' bungling handling of Brexit.
More important than the views of  Corbyn 's allies is the changing nature of the facts over Brexit; the Tories are steaming towards a deregulation bonanza in which the UK's principle exports will be financial secrecy for the world's looter class and unlimited cruelty to real people in the real economy.
In PMQs he has usually dodged the great issue. But his tone changed recently: on a visit to Shipley  in West Yorkshire  he was asked how he would vote if there were a referendum now â a question the PM and chancellor duck  while those turncoats Jeremy Hunt and Liz Truss cravenly recant.  Corbyn  unhesitatingly said  he âd vote remain: âI voted remain because I thought the best option was to remain. I havenât changed my mind.â  He  added: âWe must make sure we obtain tariff-free access to the European markets and protection of all the rights and membership of agencies we have achieved through the European Union.â  He  was  say some  hesitant on unfamiliar policy turf. But now  he  has found  his  feet  and  his  voice and confidence. âThe danger is  we will get to March 2019 with no deal  we fall out of the EU  we go on to World Trade Organisation rules  and there will be threats to a lot of jobs all across Britain â  he  warned. âI think it is quite shocking.â This time next week the EUâs chief negotiator  Michel Barnier  will deliver his verdict on whether sufficient progress has been made. He has already thrown down the challenge to the chaotic Tories: what kind of country does Britain want to be  a European model country  or something else altogether? Theresa May doesnât know  but  Jeremy Corbyn  does. The European model beckons as the enlightened  internationalist  progressive vision â the Europhobic model is a land of impoverished deregulation.
