Mr Corbyn is a despotic, contemptible moron. On the other hand he's not Donald Drumpft, so there's that.
Dozens of Labour MPs might be prepared to go against the party's leadership if there is a vote on starting the Brexit process, the BBC understands. Jeremy Corbyn has said all his MPs will be told to approve the triggering of Article 50 because they should accept the result of last year's referendum. Lib Dem Tim Farron says generations to come will not forgive that position.
The Supreme Court will announce next Tuesday whether the government needs to seek Parliament's approval. Ministers say they already have enough powers under the Royal Prerogative to go ahead with Brexit. But campaigners argue that starting Brexit in this way would be undemocratic and unconstitutional.
Mr Corbyn said he did not think it was right to block Article 50 in the wake of the referendum result. Another Labour MP told the BBC there would be a "swathe" of resignations from the front bench if Mr Corbyn instructed his MPs to vote for Brexit. The MP said that for colleagues in constituencies that voted strongly for Remain it would be "suicide" to back Article 50.

It's the duty of an MP to vote for what is in the best interests of the country. Meanwhile, JC believes #Brexit is jolly good because he thinks it will cause the downfall of Western capitalism. I wonder if he's a fan of Pol Pot, and planning a "year Zero" for us?

This is the fallacy of prae ut malis : the wretched bas whose car broke down in the desert, 40 km from the nearest repair shop gets out, wipes his brow and consoles his wife: "Thank the powers we're not broken down 100 km from the repair shop!"
