The Labour conference in Brighton today will feature an entertaining diversion when national treasure Jeremy Corbyn takes to the stage and stands on a wooden box labelled Schrödinger’s Jobs Brexit, but refuses to look inside.
It’s expected the younger members of the audience especially will be barracking for Mr Corbyn to get off the box and take a peek under the lid to see if the Jobs Brexit is alive or dead, but ever the showman, Corbyn will just make them wait, maybe for years.
We spoke to one of the youthful momentum activists attending the conference to hear what they wanted out of the experience.
“A future? Or anything resembling a future? Which we don’t see we have now. I’m sure the old Labour men who have a vision of the 1970’s for us all to live in are concerned about what I want for the future? I bought into all this because I thought they did, but the longer they say brexit is brexit, but with kittens, the less certain I’m feeling,”
As to why Corbyn won’t pull back the lid and observe the brexit Labour have placed inside the box, we had to turn to a specialist in political science to find out.
“Just by observing the jobs brexit you change it’s state. It most likely goes from a half life to stone cold dead at that point,
“You simply can’t have certainty about the official opposition’s policy regarding the most uncertain and massive change, driven by political ends, to occur to the UK for many years. That would ruin a lot of the excitement,
“I suspect it isn’t a jobs brexit they’ve hidden in that box anyway, but any brexit other than the one that is slowly tearing the country to pieces,
“That’s the Tory Brexit currently. They should keep it in a box too, but they’re too busy building crosses to nail each other too with the materials needed to construct it!”
