    2011 wasn’t long before it.

    Stop lying.

    He voted against the EU in all its forms, for a referendum on membership in 1978, 1993, 2008, 2011.

    You are obviously too young to understand that being against the EU is a much older stance than UKIP, and enjoyed a significant support with a number of Labour MPs throughout the 80’s and 90’s as the EU pushes for privatisation of nationalised services.

    Just because a Nazi says the sky is blue does not mean that all people who see a blue sky are Nazis.

      When I read posts of people like you I wish public lying with the intention to mislead the public would be a criminal offence. You wouldn’t have too many opportunities to post from behind the bars.

      "Speaking after a meeting of the Party of European Socialists in Brussels, he said: “The Labour Party is going to be committed to campaigning to stay in the European Union.”

        You did fully read that article you linked?

        It states that repeatedly during the leadership contest when asked he stated that he would vote to leave.

        After winning:

        “Labour is clear that we should remain in the EU. But we too want to see reform,” he wrote in the Financial Times.

        NOT “I believe we should remain in the EU”.

        He has also stressed he is “not on the same side of the argument” as David Cameron, despite both leaders backing continued EU membership.

        Because Labour wasn’t in power. It needs that meme:

        You support remain because you want unfettered access to Free Market Economics

        I support remain because it ties Tory hands together on workers rights

        We are not the same.

          Are you really that dense? Corbyn supported remain and expressed it multiple times.

          Stop lying.
