I think the Labour leadership have made some tactical errors. In particular they should never have supported the triggerring of Article 50 when it was clear that the Tories couldn't agree amongst themselves on what to ask the EU for. The Tory cabinet was in a state of civil war and Labour let them off the hook.

No, I think that was good strategy--usually superior to a tactical approach. :)

I think May's intention with the early invocation of A50 was to call Labour's bluff and create a clear difference between the parties that she then could have exploited in a general election. This is something Corbyn has never allowed her to do. Instead, it was Labour that set the agenda in 2017 with its manifesto, albeit too damaged by its own civil war to win the election.

But if Labour had won the election would they have managed a more acceptable brexit negotiation and would we now be closer to leaving the EU. Or would they have managed a similar clusterfuck to leave us in a similar limbo position?

I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what Labour might have done had they won the election. It certainly would have been a difficult situation for them.

Who knows, but Kier Stammer seemed better educated and prepared.
