His position on Europe has become clear.
And has been pretty clear since even before his "7/10" comment.
I'd like to think it's because he's backed a lot of his supporters into inventing elaborate theories of Corbyn-the-secret-Europhile, especially after the 7/10 remark, the charges of sabotaging the Remain campaign, and Owen Smith trying to play the DID YOU VOTE TO LEAVE JEREMY card during the contest. The obligation to defend the Europhile theory has left the Lexit fantasizing by the wayside.
and now, after a week of frenzied NO NO HE'S SAVING THE CAVALRY FOR THE THIRD READING speculation, there's egg on a lot of faces
... nah it's just blood in the water now that he's shed even more shad cab

Y'know I've been meaning to ask.
The Isles don't really have any... dangerous creatures native too them do they? Like there aren't any large predatory mammals, or deadly poisonous spiders or snakes right?

Nope! In general the weather and/or wildlife doesn't just randomly decide to kill you in either Britain or Ireland, which I think are two vastly underrated traits in a country.

Compared to other European countries, the UK has been slow to reintroduce its indigenous species, despite European legislation encouraging it.
Big predators now roam in nearly one-third of mainland Europe. There are currently 17,000 brown bears, 12,000 wolves, 9,000 Eurasian lynx and 1,250 wolverines. But not in Britain.

I think we still have adders, don't we? Not that you'll find one unless you deliberately go looking.
I'd honestly prefer if he never appeared on TV again and lost all avenues to impart his odious opinion, but I'll take Morgan appearing on shows to be told to fuck off over and over.
I have enjoyed the subsequent tweet argument he got into with Rowling.
Did Rowling do what Rowling does?
Seriously. Do not get into a snark fight with an author in a written medium.

Correct but supporters were able to keep constructing stories. The three line whip is inarguable.
But there’s a blot on the horizon over Kielder Forest, in Northumberland, thanks to highly contentious plans to reintroduce the Eurasian lynx.
The move has caused a bitter divide in the picturesque hills bordering Scotland. Campaigners say the wild mammal, which was last seen across Britain in 700AD, would reinvigorate the biggest forested area in Britain and control its sizeable herbivore population.
The Eurasian lynx, which were hunted for their highly prized pelts, have been successfully reintroduced in northern Germany, where 14 of the cats introduced in 2000 have grown to a population of up to 100.
Their preferred diet of roe deer makes them popular with the rewilding movement, which argues for the reintroduction of apex predators in order to control herbivore populations, promote forest growth and reinvigorate ecosystems.

Not sure whether "Large predatory mammal" or "Deadly posionous spider" is the more appropriate classification.
Will settle for "Yes."

2/3's of Scotland is actually pretty much untouched. There's nothing larger than small towns on the entire west coast. The human population of Scotland is almost entirely centred in the Glasgow/Edinburgh areas and surrounding country side and the handful of cities dotting up the east coast.

Low population doesn't mean untouched man, most of the moorland and heather landscapes we think typical of scotland are the result of and maintained by human activity - there are only like 200 square kilometers of the primordial Caledonian pine forest that covered most of scotland left, and there is even less of the west coast's original temperate rainforest.
Pretty much any area without trees which isn't a Mountaintop/Outer Hebrides/Sutherland in Scotland is the result of humans and livestock, and 95% of the trees which are there are also human induced.
Just up the road there are iron age hill forts that are three thousand years old - people have been working away at the landscape here for a long time. You'd be amazed what a few lads and a herd of sheep can do with a thousand years to do it in.
UUP Leader Mike Nesbitt has raised a minor kerfuffle by declaring that after he votes 1 for the UUP, he will bolster the SDLP instead of traditional unionist solidarity

You're correct.
I would recommend visiting both the Caledonian forest (Glen Affric is a nice example) and the west coast rainforest (Argyll Forest Park has the most original species irrc) for a sense of dislocation between them and the 'normal' countryside. Also because they are well scenic.

This has led to words being said
Nesbitt is an odd character these days. He tries to sound reasonable but just ends up exposing how backward the UUP are at heart. For example, he said he didn't oppose gay marriage - but then went off on "my upbringing" and voted against it along with the entirety of his party bar one. He was pro-remain and personally I believed him on that one - except the rest of his party were either quiet as mice or came out for brexit. Support for brexit is also why I'm very unlikely to vote for them.
On the SDLP transfer, gotta make sure that those votes are pure orange and green. Even if it means voting for a bunch of malignant corrupt assholes instead apparently - or at least that's what unionists would have you do. Danny Kennedy (UUP) in Newry basically said as much using the old "unionist solidarity" card. Even if he was opposed to transferring votes to the SDLP, which is fair enough, he should have at least kept to "but don't transfer anything to the DUP".

MPS have set up a decoy Labour party to keep Jeremy Corbyn harmlessly occupied while someone else takes over, they have revealed.
After being told by email that Labour was moving headquarters, Corbyn is now leading the fake party from a prefabricated hut on the outskirts of Rotherham.
A Labour spokesman said: “All the staff are paid actors who reassure him things are going well. Today they convinced him he’s ahead in the polls because the public has suddenly got really into Marxism.
“Every so often we send a ‘TV news crew’ to interview him about his latest policy to bring back British Leyland or whatever. They’re just actors too. I don’t think they even turn the camera on.
“Now we can get on with electing someone at least slightly popular, and Jeremy can potter about writing letters of support to Bootle Friends of Nicaragua.”
Corbyn said: “Everyone at our new HQ keeps me tied up all day with interminable committee meetings about things like making Knutsford a nuclear-free zone. I’m loving it.
“I said I should really go to this week’s Prime Minister’s Questions, but apparently I am too valuable to lose from the banner-making team.”
