He can and he has.

No - I suppose my point was a bit petty. If you'd have said it was one of the many reasons the voting public wouldn't take Corbyn seriously I'd have just moved on. But like I said, that is being petty.

I have accepted that Corbyn set the tone for denying the whip. I am far from convinced it has much impact on the voting public directly, but I do think it allows others to legitimately undermine his leadership and point to his own record to justify it. And that does have impact on the voting public without doubt.

I do stand by the majority of the post though - The Tories are holding themselves in check, but then I think many of the most ardent Remainers in the party have simply exited political or front bench life. But have somehow managed to do so without it looking like a political split (Cameron and Osborne for example). Others have bought into the fact that they are just implementing the popular vote.

But that actually isn't far off the exact same case for Labour. Only 2 have resigned over the stance on Article 50. Even "rebels" like Clive Lewis have said they'll vote in favour now. Those not voting in favour are mostly those form very pro-Remain seats like Stella Creasy.

Plenty of past opposition leaders - mostly Tory - have seen their MPs speak out about Europe, often defying the leadership position. I don't think Corbyn's current "crisis" is worse in that regard. His problem really is that of Labour as a whole on the issue. That they represent some of the most pro-Brexit constituencies, but also some of the most pro-Remain ones. So it is difficult to find a cohesive and coherent strategy to represent their voters.

An audacious deadline day transfer bid for Jeremy Corbyn from the Liberal Democrats fell through at the last-minute after they were unable to agree personal terms.

The transfer failure will come as a disappointment to the Labour hierarchy who have found that, despite Corbyn’s popularity amongst the fans, he has proven to be an unsettling presence in the dressing room.

Corbyn has been a solid, if unspectacular performer for Labour over the years, operating as a marauding left-winger who could provide sterling support to strikers.
