Express & Star comment: Stance on Brexit still so unclear
Since Jeremy Corbyn took over as Labour leader we have become used to receiving mixed messages on virtually all aspects of party policy.
From his dealings with the ongoing anti-Semitism crisis, to his failure (and perhaps unwillingness) to control the far left elements of modern day Labour, Mr Corbyn has been as inconsistent as opposition leaders come.
And when it comes to Brexit, his sporadic utterances on the issue have left people with far more questions than answers.
More than two years after the EU referendum, it is still hard to gauge exactly where Mr Corbyn stands on the UK's upcoming departure from the bloc.
Only two months ago in a speech in Birmingham, he vowed that a Labour Brexit would bring jobs back to Britain as part of a home grown manufacturing resurgence.
It was undoubtedly Mr Corbyn's most positive speech on Brexit, and one that was seen by many as a calculated move to appeal to millions of pro-Leave Labour voters in areas such as the West Midlands.
Now it appears that Mr Corbyn is happy to leave the door open to the ultimate betrayal – a second referendum on our EU membership.
While Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell insists any new referendum would be on the terms of the final deal only, Labour's Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer says another 'in/out' vote was a possible option.
This is an absolute disgrace, and would almost certainly destroy the British public's faith in our politicians.
More than two years on from the referendum, the bumptious buffoons of the metropolitan elite are still determined to block Brexit at all costs.
And Labour is happy to try anything on the off chance it might prove to be a vote winner.
Even Theresa May, for all her many failings, has committed to guiding Britain out of the EU, despite her obvious pro-Brussels leanings.
Mr Corbyn says that more than anything, he wants a General Election.
But how are voters expected to trust a party seemingly incapable of clarity on the most crucial issue this country has faced in generations?
Mr Corbyn's abject failure to grasp the Brexit nettle may prove to be his most spectacular failure of all.
