No deal would make everyone happy. I'm trying to answer your question that labour have repeatedly said jobs first, economy first - so other priorities they are putting after. Of course that will piss off loads of people, but you wanted to know their position. They keep telling you.
Norway didn't leave the EU though did they and that's a key difference. If you think the European negotiators will roll over and give us a similar arrangement then I fear you're sadly mistaken.
Making generalised statements like "jobs first, economy first" is just rhetoric and typical of any party in opposition but it's certainly not a strategy.
I'm not simply having a go at Labour as I've already said the Conservatives are making a right hash of the negotiations.
I honestly believe, however that if the current opposition became the government, we would be no better off because they are also riven by internal disagreements and the whole mess would just rumble on.
