In a string of genuinely bizarre and othewordly statements made in this whole Brexit mess, hearing May and the Tories and to some extent Corbyn, flat out declare that these results proved more Brexit was needed, when voters abandoned them in droves to vote for anti-Brexit parties takes the prize, so far.

It's just... so bizarre I don't really know how to process it.

Me neither. Even worse, I was a Labour member and voted for Corbyn originally. So this is partly my fault. Yet he went through the referendum campaign posing as a Remainer, and I believed him.

It reminds me of that polling data analysis that showed that if labour pursued Remain, yes they'd lose maybe 10 or so seats, but if they pursued Brexit they stood to lose 40 or 50 seats.

And they way they're going, with this 'constructive' ambiguity, they're standing to lose both Remain and Leave supporters, so, on course for the worst possible outcome. Bravo Labour.

And god help them if they enable a Tory Brexit, the Tories will do unto Labour as they did unto the Lib Dems.

I've seen that polling, but can't find it now. Got a link?
