Yes. Jeremy was, and is, so totally right.
If Labour had voted in any other policy on Brexit, than the one that had been cleared at Labour Party Conference (which it was, so you can't blame Corbyn), they risked losing votes, and MPs, in London and the South-East. (And in Scotland, but I suppose it was thought then that there weren't any there further to lose! 😏)
But perhaps Labour should just not have made that pledge, about the second referendum?
If they hadn't been so frank about where they stood: if they were a bit vague about the issue - as are Boris Johnson's Tories, on most issues apart from Brexit - it would have given them more room to manoeuvre, and set less people against them. 😏
But Corbyn was fighting against a large section of his own party - and I don't mean grassroots Remainers! He had to concede to the Neoliberal right the main policy it wanted - and it lost Labour the election. Also I don't think these Blairites ever want to admit, how sick voters in general were of Blairite MPs, in the "safe seats" in question. Often they were "parachuted in" from outside these communities: and they didn't bring these deprived areas any jobs . The irony is, that Corbyn's Labour, once in power, would have!! 😏
