Every time Labour make any announcement pertaining to the EU, the usual talking heads in the media accuse them of seeking to reverse Brexit. So Labour's strategy is clearly to keep those people quiet.
However, once they are in office they will have to pivot, and not just on Brexit, to a new position. Those very same voices will wail, but by then Labour will be in power and Brexit will continue being more and more unpopular as people realise they've were sold a pup by the Tories.

Do we think that Starmers insistence that we're not going to join 'the' customs union is cover for having 'a' customs union, you know, bespoke etc., part of the 2025 renegotiation, give notice on the CPTPP.
The Torys are going to keep kicking the can down the road on customs / standards checks because they know anything that goes wrong will largely be covered for by their press and from there perspective it a nice can of worms to leave for Labour to deal with.
Labour won't have that cover and if anything happens they will crucified.
