Not listened to it (yet). Corbyn was on the Newsagents podcast on 3 February. Interesting discussion where he repeated that he is and was an EU sceptic. But he did follow the party line pre referendum, even if not enthusiastically. He also did over 100 trade union meetings on Brexit that got no news coverage where he continued that scepticism but asked for a Remain vote - according to my mate who was a Unite rep on one of the NEC sub committees (and Chair of Sheffield Trades Council).
He (may mate, Martin Mayer) was expelled last month for sharing a speaker platform 4/5 years ago with one of the Labour organisations that was subsequently proscribed. Retrospective thought crime!
This is one, of many, problems I have with Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party.
Most knew that he was, at least, eurosceptic and probably full on anti-EU and if he was as honest and decent as you say then he should never have led what is a massively pro-EU party. Membership of the EU is hardly a minor issue and surely the leader must be fully behind major party policy.
Once the party and it's membership backed remain he should have resigned the leadership. As a supposed man of principle I'm surprised he didn't. Or perhaps he isn't as principled as you think and he abandoned them to keep the trappings of high office.
I take it you are perfectly amazing in everything you do right ?

I doubt Corbyn was attracted to 'the trappings of high office'.
Maybe the trappings of the allotment and the labour hall podium?
It was a lighthearted quip , are you on the spectrum or something Ffs
Sturgeon will go down in history as the person who saved the Union, whether by accident or design.
What's this? I thought he was holed-up sipping Pimms somewhere in leafy Berkshire refreshing Pfizer's share price at Yahoo Finance to calculate the fluctuating value of his holdings.
That price has been flat over the past 2.5 years. With 10% inflation reducing their real worth further then it's little wonder the old boy is always cheesed-off around here.
The name of the bloke speaking is Humza Yousaf, an MSP, who's 4th favourite in the betting to become Scotland's next First Minister according to the odds at this site. https://www.gamblingsites.com/blog/s...inney%20%2B600
The blurb atop the twitter message is wrong; he was born in Blighty.

Would it be naive of me to think that she knew today's event was coming before she resigned?
