You don't have to like Blair or trust him
But he has consistently distilled Brexit down to its essential decision - painful or pointless
If Labour had said this instead of "Jobs 1st" brexit things may have been different

A hard Brexit is painful, a no deal one additionally so
It's possible to have a variation of a deal to soften the blow (including anything from Labour) but ultimately that is only damage limitation - pointless
If not, we Remain
But everyone who has pretended that there is an option in the middle that's of value in itself if we just try hard enough is lying
Blair understands messaging-It's a shame other politicians don't
A painless Brexit is pointless
A meaningful Brexit is painful
