Let me explain.

The government (with Labour support) has already triggered article 50 before the last election and negotiations to leave the EU will have concluded well before the next election, so your claim that the next election is the last chance to prevent this are untrue.

The government is making catastrophic error after catastrophic error in the negotiations to leave the EU, but Corbyn won't hold them to account on this.

Labour are becoming increasingly pro-Brexit just as it is becoming apparent that the whole thing is a total disaster. To be honest their opposition to this calamity is as feeble as the Tories were over Iraq.

Under Corbyn Labour won't change on their current strategy of "disaster socialism", i.e encouraging the complete gutting of the UK economy then claiming that only they can fix the mess. And it is becoming increasingly obvious that Corbyn's craven fanboys care far more about keeping the useless twonk on as Labour leader then getting anything done to make this country a better place to live.

Vince Cable has already been voicing many of the concerns raised in the video in the OP. The Lib Dems have a major weakness on this with tuition fees, but the EU is Labour's elephant in the room. And the daft thing is, Labour's EU policy is aimed squarely at the sort of old farts Momentum are attacking in this video!
