Labour isn’t willing to lose 30-40% of it’s voters. Cold hard truth. This they will never countenance rejoin on any level.

You’re probably right. Things like joining the customs union probably won’t happen until at least the next government in 2029.

Absolutely not. Most EU countries are still sour about the cherry picking Brits back in the day and the entire Brexit charade.
