8. This ought to be enough to get all opposition parties to support Corbyn as a caretaker PM

Get him to state clearly that involves saying to the EU we will have a new referendum and election, so we need an extension. Then I hope some Tories can support that plan. That enables an immediate no confidence vote, but rather than having to wait too long before the election can be held (2 weeks to see if a new government can be formed, then 5 weeks before an election), you get the change of government, and thus who negotiates with the EU, at once.

That's what I hope for now.
