Valin Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Haaretz Corbyn's journey – from Eurosceptic to last line of defence against leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement is among the most improbable in modern British history. Sept. 9 2019 In 2009, a little-known British politician declared he didn't want to live in a European empire of the 21st century. The speaker was Jeremy Corbyn, then a backbench Member of Parliament (MP) on the hard left of the Labour Party. He was addressing a rally against the European Union's Lisbon Treaty that gave Brussels greater powers. Today, Corbyn is his party's leader and he is fighting a very different campaign: Preventing Prime Minister Boris Johnson leading Britain out of the EU, "do or die," on Oct. 31. A campaign which has been hobbled by members of his party continuing to quit and condemn Corbyn over allegations of institutional anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.
