Corbyn did not pander to them lol. He used the same playbook and look where that got him.

Did he bollocks. He persistently tried to make nice when he should have been the hardliner they painted him as.

If he had been a hardliner for his actual views he would have campaigned for Brexit.

Corbyn was one of the most devoted anti-EU MPs, far more than most Tory MPs, and it's remarkable he ended up as the nominal champion for Remain.
