No, not now.
I did wonder if it would go that way, most politicians would at least consider a clear differentiator between them and their closest rival and fight on that front, but he chose not too, perhaps on principle, perhaps because research said it wouldn’t help.
You have to remember with JC that he is a proper Socialist promoting workers rights, not a Leftie as such. Old Labour, not New. Socialists in the past (consider Dennis Skinner) have been very Anti-EU, since we’ve joined the UK has become wealthier, that is true, but at a great cost – being part of a larger state has allowed us to massively expand our financial industry at the expense of our manufacturing industry because we haven’t needed to maintain a trade deficit with the rest of the EU and this has mean whilst we’re richer as a whole, the gap between rich and poor is wider than ever and we have a huge areas of unemployment and under employment.
When he was campaigning for us to remain he was quiet, and his major issue was protecting human and workers rights, if he can do that outside of the EU he will. Joining the EU after all was a Tory policy and it was maintained by a New Labour government, new Labour is a socially aware capitalist movement, not a socialist one per-se.
If another one of the candidates for the Labour Leadership had won it is far more likely that they would have fought for “the 48%” because polls have shown again and again that once the promises the leave campaign made were shown to be false, almost seconds after the result came in and then all the key players skulked away and the markets started to fall the 48% soon became 56%.
We might hear some more Pro-EU talk post the election, if UKIP are utterly destroyed as is expected then the major parties won’t have to worry about it until 2022 and I don’t think that UKIP have the enough finance backers to see them that far and fight another election.
