For those saying "it's not the time to talk about Brexit" with reference to Labour, if not now, when on Earth!?
We have visible chaos. Shortages in shops. Supply chains collapsing. Front page tabloid headlines referencing the B-word. And polling showing a majority blame Brexit.
And thanks to all that oven-ready nonsense, people associate Brexit pretty much 100% with Boris Johnson.
It's the easiest target any political party has been presented with, ever.
So hit it! Then hit it again!
Sure, Labour voted for the deal under duress because no-deal was worse.
But right now TORY BREXIT is failing.
So attack TORY BREXIT.
Keir Starmer should own it.
"Faced with a bad choice and an even worse choice, we voted for Boris Johnson's deal. We had no third alternative. In doing so, we honoured the referendum result.
Boris Johnson tried to implement his oven-ready Brexit deal. Boris Johnson has failed."
"The evidence of Boris Johnson's failure is all around us.
Fruit and vegetables go unpicked. Crops rot in the fields. The hospitality sector faces a dire shortage of workers. Supply chains are collapsing. Shortages are appearing in the shops. Christmas is under threat." etc.

From today, you'll need a "UK" sticker on your car when driving abroad.
Why did the Tories change it? Because they can.
Is it Brexit-related? No. The UK proactively requested to change its 2-letter country code at the UN. Nothing forced the change. gov.uk/guidance/drivi…
As an official government page confessds, no rules have changed. It's purely a cosmetic thing. But it's still a legal requirement forcing millions of people to go to the expense & hassle of getting "UK" stickers for no reason except to please Tory zealots. …sport-goods-to-and-from-eu.dft.gov.uk/faqs/when-do-y…
It hasn't been long since the last pointless change either.
Grant Shapps launched a new-style number plate ("now with extra jingoism") back in January to mark the 1-year anniversary of leaving the EU.
Labour and Keir Starmer have yet to learn that you can write an 11,500 word essay about what the future would look like under a Labour government, but every word is irrelevant if Labour don't first take power.
And by continuing to ignore the 48%, that's a nailed on certainty.
Problem is, they only have one opportunity a year to agree the big bold strokes of Labour's offering. And that's almost upon us.
Once they fluff it over the next week, we're looking at another 12 long months before they can have another crack at it. And we could get a GE first.
