5 things Labour need to do
1. Always refer to Brexit as "Tory Brexit" (every single Labour MP and peer, every time it comes up).
2. Be much more vocally critical of Tory Brexit. Not Brexit. Tory Brexit.
3. Clearer improvements to the deal.
4. Big bold electoral pacts.
5. PR.

Yes, Labour voted Tory Brexit through.
So what? As we have seen countless times when it comes to the Tories, political stances change.
"We're not trying to rejoin the EU but we want to reverse the damage being caused by Tory Brexit."
Seems pretty straightforward.

And in response to the inevitable next question:
"We believe in honouring the result of the referendum. That's why, when Boris Johnson assured the country he had an oven-ready Tory Brexit, we decided to give him a fair chance to try to implement it. He has demonstrably failed."

We can't go straight from Brexit back to EU membership.
We could go from Tory Brexit to less damaging Brexit to even less damaging Brexit to EU membership. (Or at least to a Norway-like situation, which wouldn't be so bad.)
But if we don't take that first step...

Part of the process should be to watch individual polls like a hawk.
So when one indicates that eg even Leavers (by a large margin) want to protect existing food standards, you immediately add that to the list of Brexit improvements you promise.

Only 52% of a subset of registered voters wanted any kind of Brexit (everything from Norway-like to hard WTO).
Some of those 52% are disillusioned with the result. Some are bored. Some have died.
It was enough for a 2016 referendum win. It's not enough to prop up Tory Brexit.

Here's a magnificent thread collating 1,000 examples of Brexit damage over the space of just a few months.
Why isn't Labour doing that sort of work? Why aren't they calling out each failing, and keeping a very public tally?
