1. Anyone who thinks English exceptionalism, nationalism and ‘regulatory realignment’ - the root drivers of Brexit - would have ended with a ‘soft brexit’ ie a customs union or a Norwegian style deal, misunderstands what brexit has always been about.

2. ‘No-deal’ has always been the logical goal for those who’ve driven the brexit agenda. The question @UKLabour should be asking the govt is, ‘what part of the ‘level playing field’ do you want to change? Food standards? Env protections? Workers rights?

3. The issue of fish, whilst playing to worst instincts of territorial jingoism is, excuse the pun, a red herring. This is about phase 2 of the neoliberal project. Building on the gains of the last 40 years.

4. The reality for those who want to challenge this grim trajectory is to understand phase 2 will be about hollowing out what’s left of our democracy as @FisherAndrew79 eloquently argues

5. The crisis of democracy, which brexit is but the latest manifestation, is what we must mobilise against. So many other issues are but symptoms of this underlying malaise.
