The Guardian is apparently realising at last that Corbyn is not the Messiah. This is why, unfortunately, there is no prospect of overturning Brexit without a second referendum.
Before we go on, I should stress that I am not here to liken Jeremy Corbyn to a far-right rabble rouser – even though his bespoke antisemitism definition defends the principle of being able to compare pretty much anyone with Nazis. Look, I’m genuinely glad he’s worrying about inflation – and he’s hardly the first guy in history to shout about it at rallies.
I’m kidding. I’m honestly kidding. Unwisely so, given my experience of many Corbyn fans, who love it when you take the piss out of the Tories week after week, but get angrier over jokes about Jeremy than they do about seemingly anything else. So perhaps we’ll leave this blasphemous facetiousness there.
As for suggestions that Corbyn might make a conciliatory speech at the Jewish Museum in London, my favourite detail was the initial suggestion it would happen on Friday night. Oh man … Friday night. Any Jews got anything on?

Well, yes. The idiocy of #Brexit could be stopped very quickly indeed, if our MPs would do their jobs and actually have a vote on whether to leave, or #RemainInTheEU.
