He said Corbyn risks being deserted by huge numbers of working class voters in Labours heartlands over his support for a second referendum.
Len McCluskey has warned that Corbyn’s Brexit strategy may lead huge numbers of working class voters to desert the party
McCluskey has been one of Corbyn’s key supporters
Unite boss Len McCluskey, who is a key Corbynista, said a poll of 75,000 Labour members showed the partys failure to back Brexit is hitting them in the North and Midlands.
He added that if Mr Corbyn wins the election and negotiates a new deal Unite will call a special conference and could back it over Remain in a second referendum.
Union officials have complained that the Labour leader is toxic and divisive on the doorstep, with one questioning why it was still backing a leader who cant sort out anti-Semitism.
Mr McCluskey said Labour needs to tackle the very real issues weve got over Brexit and with Jeremy in some places to turn things around.
