On Thursday, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed crowds in Liverpool, where the party will set out its economic policies. On Wednesday, the party promised an “irreversible shift” of power under its leadership – but polls are showing the public isn’t yet convinced.
In a damning poll published by polling site YouGov, which interviewed 3,284 British adults between November 1 and 4, Jeremy Corbyn ranked the least trustworthy on Brexit ahead of the December 12 election.
The poll asked: “How much, if at all, do you trust each of the following on the issue of Brexit?”
Mr Corbyn received just 18 percent of the trust vote, while 73 percent said they do not trust him on Brexit.
The Brexit Party’s Nigel Farage was in next, with 25 percent claiming trust, against 65 percent who don’t.

The Prime Minister has 37 percent of the poll’s trust, against 55 percent who don’t trust him.
And the Lib Dem’s Jo Swinson came in with 22 percent of trust, as opposed to 54 percent without trust in her Brexit leadership.
Other polling sites show equally dire prospects for Labour.
According to the latest data from the Electoral Calculus, taken from opinion polls between October 25 and November 4 of 15,917 people, the Tories can expect a 96 seat majority.
Putting the Tories in the lead with 38.2 percent, Labour trails in second with 27.2 percent, translating to 182 seats.
The Lib Dems are in third, with 15.9 percent – 25 seats – and the Brexit Party in fourth with 10.2 percent, but no predicted seats.
A look at YouGov’s recent voting intention poll, which surveyed 3,284 British adults between November 5 and 6, put the Tories ahead with a strong lead of 36 percent, trailed by Labour with 25 percent.
Lib Dems are in third with 17 percent, and the Brexit Party in fourth with 11 percent.

If Britain falls to Corbyn it will be a disaster, says PATRICK O’FLYNN [OPINION]
The results will be unwelcome news for the Labour Party after deputy leader Tom Watson’s shock resignation on Wednesday.
Mr Watson said the decision was “personal, not political”, but factions between Mr Corbyn and his deputy have been known for some time.
Since the pair have been running Labour, there have been a number of public disagreements, including most recently over the party’s Brexit position.
While Mr Corbyn has refused to say how he would campaign in a further referendum – as promised by the leader if Labour wins the election – Mr Watson has called for the party to “unequivocally back Remain”.
The day before the party’s conference in September, there was also an attempt to kick Mr Watson out of his post by the chief of the left-wing campaign group Momentum, Jon Lansman.
However, the motion Mr Lansman tabled at a meeting of the National Executive Committee was dropped after Mr Corbyn intervened.
After his resignation, Mr Corbyn thanked Mr Watson for his service, adding: “This is not the end of our work together.”
In his letter to Mr Corbyn, the former MP for West Bromwich East thanked the leader “for the decency and courtesy you have shown me over the last four years, even in difficult times”.
