If we do end up with a snap GE (which seems more likely by the minute, then Labour)
A) Better have a *firm* position about Brexit that can survive the "can you explain it in a lift" simplicity test
B) Assuming that A) is compatible, better join the Remain Alliance *sincerely*.

By that, I don't mean strut into the room going "we're the biggest party, so stand down here and stand down there". Realise that Labour won't always or even necessarily often be the best choice to win a seat, and ***compromise***
Because on the other side it looks like Boris Johnson will sideline the Brexit Party one way or the other, probably by swinging super-right, so that really does materially change the pool of votes he'll be drinking from.
So this is a time for compromise, compromise and more compromise, just as it's been the last few days and weeks. There is a narrow chance to get this right, and a big one to watch impotently as Boris Johnson struts back into Number 10 and throws us off the no deal Brexit cliff.
And if Labour isn't Remain enough to fit into the Remain Alliance, we're doomed pure and simple.
