Jeremy Corbyn’s Great European Policy Switch went down like the falling wet snow in Labour ’s heartland.
Shoppers in Barnsley market in South Yorkshire didn’t warm to his conversion to “a customs union” with the EU after Brexit .
This is devout Leave country, where almost 70% of voters said “Out”. If the new message is to gain traction, it has to be among these ranks of traditional Labour.
But a poll of people taking shelter from the snow showed not even Jezza’s vague promise of “a” customs union has changed minds.
The last union that was popular here was the National Union of Mineworkers, and look what happened to that.
