Spot on.
Corbyn sat on the fence and pretty much kept quiet on the whole Brexit issue, apart from expressing concerns on workers rights but, he was no fan of the EU, which gave "vote leave" a free run against an already unpopular PM (Cameron) and leave certainly ran the better campaign, albeit riddled with lies and false claims, many of which are being seen for what they were but, alas it's too late and N. Ireland has been right royally shafted and we are left with a joke PM "leading" the country.
We'd be better off with Pepper Pig in charge.
