Well, that’s certainly one interpretation but

opinions don’t necessarily equals facts, and there are definitely a few opinions in there that aren’t the incontrovertible facts you imply:
1. For some people who voted to leave, getting out of everything and having nothing to do with the EU was definitely a motivating factor in their vote. For many it was that they felt it had become a political project, straying from the original ‘Common Market’ set up and they’d have been happy if it had remained an economic project. The wording of the referendum meant both interpretations could be argued, but to extrapolate that ambiguity to claim that not being part of the customs union is part of the people’s infamous willy is stretching things.
2. International treaties, long standing agreements and membership of any club comes with obligations & responsibilities. The divorce bill is no more than a recognition of that. i.e. we’d freely entered into agreements with forward costs which would need paying if we chose to leave & end those agreements. That’s international law - bummer.
3. Lots of things to criticise Corbyn & the Labour Party for, but the rant above is pure kippery. Opinions, not facts & one of the worst aspects of the current populist vogue is that morphing of opinions into ‘facts’.
4. The people’s willy has been extrapolted from a narrow majority to imply unanimity. Yes, it was a large vote, and yes, leave won it - yet still over 16m voted against. That’s where Corbyn and the Labour Party (in my view) get unjustified stick. They have actually tried to accept the vote whilst at the same time looking for a solution acceptable to both the leave majority and remainers. TM’s red lines were the opposite approach, taking the most extreme interpretation of the vote and appeasing the extremists in her Party.... and still it continues.
