Backed by Chuka Umunna, Labour MP for Streatham

I really don't like him anymore. It was wonderful watching him rip Bob Diamond to pieces but what he says about poor people is quite distasteful.

Looking at the BBC news channel this morning where Jeremy responded to the PM's brexit statement, it seems there is now the threat of "no brexit at all". Perhaps parliament is finally seeing some sense.

Just signed it, although chances of this going ahead are sub-zero as Corbyn is a self-centered closet Brexiter.

A quote from Fintan O'Toole in this piece for the The New York Review of Books:

"Labour, like the Tories, is being held together only by a fantasy. Its official position is that it supports Brexit but will oppose any deal with the EU that does not “deliver the ‘exact same benefits’ as we currently have as members of the Single Market and Customs Union.” This is either utterly delusional or, more probably, deeply dishonest. The EU cannot give the “exact same benefits” to a non-member as its remaining members enjoy. If it did so, it would cease to exist: Who would accept the responsibilities and costs of being in the club if all the club’s facilities were freely available to non-members? The Labour leadership undoubtedly knows this, but it maintains this illusion so it can talk out of both sides of its mouth at the same time: supporting Brexit but condemning May for failing to secure in the negotiations an outcome that was inherently impossible."
