Squarely putting himself at odds with Central Labour policy. Maybe he should vote Green?

    Got any evidence for that? The majority of people think brexit was a failure and are in favour of rejoining, and within labour (and libdems and greens) it’s an even bigger majority. Source: yougov

    • 56% overall, not exactly a huge majority, that could easily change once people start talking about what rejoining would actually mean in practical terms. Also your own source says the majority think it should not be a priority in the current time.

      (Also it says fewer people support joining the customs union and single market than support rejoining the EU, which is odd considering rejoining the EU inherently means joining both of those.)

        I never said it was a huge majority (although significantly bigger than the majority that got us out in the first place). But your comment suggests that rejoining is unpopular outside London, and I found no evidence for that. Hence my question if you have anything to back up your initial comment.
