If Labour do want to fix any of this then they would need closer trading ties with Europe given they are our largest export market by far but the usual suspects will simply cry foul. As it is we have gone from being round the table in trading negotiations to simply a rule-taker. A national embarrassment.
Of course your points are valid, nobody is denying that, but what do we do about it? sit around wringing out our tear soaked handkerchiefs?
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
