Yes I think he should change.

If Jeremy Corbyn had wanted to oppose Brexit he could have done so during the referendum campaign. He said the EU was 7/10, gave only half-hearted support to the Labour In campaign (Labour sources quoted in "All Out War: How Brexit sank Britain's political class" even felt that the leader's office had tried to sabotage it) and zero support to the official Remain campaign. A lot of natural Labour voters had apparently been unaware which side the party was supporting. People aren't stupid, they can read between the lines and interpret his lukewarm support as a sop to EU-supporting Labour voters and a wink to UKIP supporters.

The border on the island of Ireland is famously unsecure - except on the few main roads, between the two countries.
When the prices of goods differ significanly in the two, smuggling became a major issue in the past.
Pork prices ensured the growth of pig smuggling for many years - with piglets waking up in another jurisdiction, after nocturnal travel.
Many large farms straddle the border - making such activity easier, and simple to extend to humans.

Let's just get this right - so now there will be Freedom of Movement between Ireland and Northern Ireland (the UK). So all those would-be immigrants just have to get from France or Spain or wherever to Ireland; then they can walk into Great Britain? Sounds sensible - but why not just abandon Brexit?
