In reply to the discussion: Labour leapt into Brexit's fires - and now the party is burning [View all]Labour's moderates are currently keeping a low profile, on the basis that Labour members will only move away from Corbyn once they see how useless he really is. They are basically pursuing a strategy of letting Corbyn sink on his own.
The trouble with this is that he's dragging Labour down with him. And even though I don't consider Corbyn's left wing ideology to be the problem, he could well end up permanently discrediting the left.

In the here and now, there was never any chance that ANY Tory MPs would defy May on Article 50.

I've had to knock this myth down before. Sorry, your first argument is just nonsense.
