I don't see this as a circular argument at all. Knowing where you have come from, is the basis for moving forward.
I think citing Labour's tribal rewriting of history as its major problem while arguing for a return to Blairism because red wall voters don't care about the Iraq War is quite circular, and most certainly not moving forward.
Brexit taught a lot of voters that Mandelson was wrong, they did have somewhere to go, and now they're window shopping all over the place. That's quite a fundamental shift from the Blair years.

While Labour continues its weird retelling of the past, it's compromised. It needs to understand where and why it lost votes and readdress these points with a clear and consistent vision for the future of the British people under a Labour govt.
As an aside, I do not believe that the collapse of the Labour vote in the red wall has much to do with the Iraq War.
