Common sense..
Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor, seems to have persuaded Labour to finally talk some sense on Brexit. She says that the UK should try to improve on the deal with the EU, which is a bit of a no brainer, although something beyond this Government.
She also says that the UK should agree to follow EU veterinary standards, this is also very sensible. Why would the UK want worse standards than the EU? Agreeing to cooperate will also end 80% of the checks at Northern Ireland’s ports overnight and ease trade with the EU in many other areas as well.
The Conservatives can’t and won’t do this as they have some weird obsession with their own particular form of sovereignty. They really need to go back to school and learn what it really means, because until they do there is no chance of this Government building a better relationship with the EU.
But with Labour a long way from power, that means things can only get worse.
