There are some positioning wins from Labour/Starmer, for example: talking about the need for global standards/trade when Brexit topics come up which really creates stealthy alignment with EU standards/trade without being anti-Brexit, or becoming 'crap news' fodder.
This I think is the most misunderstood bit of his platform. Get Brexit Working is crass, but it uses the Tories attack lines against them, and it's nothing the average Brexiter or Remainer could object to.
The reality is that we cannot rejoin the EU until we are a stable country again. Fixing the NI issues, fixing friction on trading, fixing the things we CAN fix outside the Single Market is the first step to showing we're not the swivel eyed loons of Johnson's administration, and once the financial pressures begin to ease, the argument for closer alignment makes itself.
I think yesterday's focus on long-term sustainable change is right, since it applies to ALL our problems including this one.
I'd say that avoiding being taken down in the current climate IS progress! You need a path to power and then a plan, not the other way around.
