Yes, I could be wrong but it appears in the link you provided he meant to say remain based on the gist of the rest of what he was discussing but instead said leave. But tbh I didn't really understand, and don't care too much. The way 65% works in a referendum is not the same as in gerrymandered electoral boundaries. The goal should not just have been about keeping existing labour supporters but getting non voters actually thinking that voting at all was worth a damn. To do that, they must be showing they're willing to honour the closest thing to democracy we had. The fact they've backtracked on that shows me (I'm an example of that) that it's unlikely they'll get more voter turnout in their favour.
