    No, he absolutely has not - at this thread sets out in detail ------> https://twitter.com/shaunjlawson/status/1080452218577477638 … By the way: do you think Tony Benn didn't represent Labour values? Do you think Dennis Skinner doesn't represent Labour values?https://twitter.com/ColonelRed/status/1081486103914430464 …

    This thread starts by criticising the previous Labour leadership for not representing Labour values, then it defends Corbyn for enabling Brexit. Perhaps Corbyn will fairly distribute the bones, but he has still committed to letting the meat rot off of them first.

        Replying to @shaunjlawson

        The vast majority of Labour don't want Brexit so, on that count, Benn and Skinner do not represent contemporary Labour values. As for Corbyn just being true to the manifesto on Brexit...you credit him with the manifesto in this thread, so a "what can he do?" vibe doesn't work.

        No, I credit LABOUR with the manifesto. Which all their MPs were elected on. If you'd like Corbyn to behave like an autocrat, rather than the democrat he is, that's your look-out... but it's an extremely bizarre one.

        Richard | Colonel Red Retweeted Shaun Lawson

        Point b) of this tweet is where you refer to his "magnificent manifesto", in the context of saying nobody could have done what Corbyn has done. If you don't credit him with the manifesto, it has no place in this context.https://twitter.com/shaunjlawson/status/1080065447523991553?s=19 …

        11) This ignored a) His extraordinary, natural appeal/authenticity b) Magnificent manifesto c) Only he could pull together electoral coalition of metropolitan Remainers and liberals, white working class Leavers, ethnic minorities and centrists/soft Tories appalled at May's govt

        English and Twitter FAIL. 1) My use of 'his' in the first point doesn't necessarily carry over to the second 2) The character limit meant I couldn't put "Labour's" before "magnificent manifesto". No leader anywhere ever writes their own manifesto. That was his brilliant team.
