BBC not listening to Corbyn

Hardly news this but needs a note in the blog. There was a Marr interview on Sunday. Two days ago. My take he was clear on second referendum, slight advance towards it as reported by Paul Mason on Twitter. But this was not his main point. More about representing both Leave and Remain Labour voters and uniting the country. ( Also describes as nonsense Marr claims he was tongue-tied in supporting Remain during referendum , more below )

After 8 on Today no mention of this, just Laura Kuenssberg and Nick Robinson on "constructive ambiguity" and "sitting on the fence". So my question is whether Corbyn is reported at all. We will be abble to check this week with most of the evidence still online for a month or so. The original referendum more difficult but there is some content still around.

Overload possibly. The basic narrative becomes clear, I have tweeted asking for links if BBC shows wider range of clips, will check later.

Nonsense claims by Corbyn much the best news angle. The idea that Corbyn did not much during referendum is a myth put about as part of the second leadership election. Supported by BBC at the time.

Also interesting this time around remarks by Alistair Campbell on Jeremy Vine show. Not sure he will vote Labour. What support did he offer Corbyn during the first referendum? We can only guess.
