Not really, his eurosceptic turn fits in pretty well with the way his politics have evolved over the years. He has changed his mind on almost every single issue (sometimes multiple times) since this interview. He was a social democrat at about this time, then basically a soft thatcherite in the eighties. He is now anti-austerity and anti-trident, and since Corbyn became leader, he has become a Labour donor and supporter again. And equally, it should be said that many of the leaders of the Leave campaign in 1976, such as Barbara Castle and Michael Foot, shifted to become pro-EU before they died.
