Interesting perhaps they have nothing to lose by pointing at the Tories blocking any realignment.
The EU offered a temporary realignment for food standards for NI and permanent plant standard alignment which are easy wins.
For SME though only full SM for goods / customs union alignment may be enough, not an easy win.
If labour can get GB into what NI has it will help, all the fantastic new tradedeals suck anyway.
Debated whether to put this in the Starmer thread or here as its relevant to both. A particularly excellent piece from the always excellent Chris Grey blog proposing a new strategy for Labour on SM membership:
