    It's unfair to suggest Leavers didn't know what they were voting for, says - the issue is that the government's deal completely ignores their concerns. That's why people must be consulted on our next move.

    Jeremy Corbyn says the real divide is many/few not remain/leave. But remain v leave has CRITICAL impact on many/few divide. Leave is a sluice gate to a more unequal and poorer Britain. There is no for the many.
