This is why need a General Election. Those people living their pleasantly comfortable lifestyles can afford a Peoples Vote - they aren’t worrying how to feed the kids or where to sleep tonight.https://twitter.com/SidUnite/status/1063421409429471235 …

How exactly would a general election solve the Brexit farrago?

It would solve the country’s challenges more widely. Brexit isn’t the only issue facing this country and all parties need to but forward a wider integrated vision. Current poverty and destitution are more important than future discomfort for those who are probably doing OK

But Brexit is the most pressing, and the most likely to increase misery for those already in trouble. An election can't ever be about one issue. Labour's problem is that a 2nd referendum would expose Corbyn's estrangement from his party.

To your final point, Corbyn isn’t disconnected from his party. Chuka & Co are. Labour Party members take an holistic perspective on the state of the nation - not just themselves. Corbyn is the most popular leader within the Labour Party in decades and has grown the Party greatly

Well he isn't the most popular with those who were already in the party before the newcomers arrived. Or perhaps you think the wrong people were in the party then? In any case, two thirds of all members support Remain, whereas Corbyn is a Leaver. Bit of a problem there.

He’s not - unlike Blair & Brown he’s a democrat. He will do what the members want. As a democrat he’s trying to respect the referendum decision of the electorate to leave whilst minimising the economic impact through the softest possible Brexit. He is trying to unite the nationpic.twitter.com/YIe7ms6eNz

You know perfectly well, Kevin, that Corbyn has always hated the EU and will never change his mind. He famously never does. He is as much a machine politician as any, hence Mcdonnell as the fixer and the use of Momentum as his orcs to intimidate opponents.

On the final point I’m a member Momentum and am the least intimidatory person you could meet
I supported Blair in the first term and good things were done -min. wage, SureStart, etc - before he sold is soul to the Devil (ie Bush, Murdoch et al). Corbyn brought me back Labour1 antwoord 0 retweets 0 vind-ik-leuks -

I don't doubt that much of Momentum isn't intimidatory, but it was set up as the shock troops for McDonnell's vision of socialism. We clearly won't agree, but I left Labour after 45 years because of Corbyn, who had spent 30 years engaged in worthless political self abuse.

I think it’s best we agree to differ. Have a good weekend
