The Guardian's liveblog reckoned the main talking point from Corbyn's speech today was that he fundamentally doesn't care about Brexit; he's reflexively Eurosceptic for Bennite reasons, and because he fears the centre-right-dominated EU will never allow socialism in one country, but other than that he mostly cares about class divides, rich vs poor etc.

The problem is that increasingly the country's divisions are young vs old (a far better predictor of how you voted Tory vs Labour in England and Wales at the last general election), and increasingly remain vs leave.
