The myth is that Labour won the election by anything other than default. It has no mandate for anything other than "be a bit more competent".

This is spot on. There are problems with Labour’s approach in trying to suggest we can get more growth and somehow “reset” our relationship with the EEU without concrete measures. I tend to think that at present it is unlikely that we could re-enter the EEC tho most people now support that. But in a sense it doesn’t matter that much. It was the Deal that messed us up. It was a cock up and disastrous. So, yes, let’s try to renegotiate that and attempt to have an arrangement where we go back into the EEU trading area or even the Customs Union which was always an option. And who cares if we have free movement of labour? It will be better for us.
