David Davis’ Brexit deal puts us on course for a calamitous act of national self-harm

Once in power Labour must future-proof its policies against Tory advances to bring lasting change for the country’s good
Politics is cyclical: sometimes your party is in and sometimes your party is out. It is very likely that some time in the future, and perhaps very soon, Labour will be back in power. It is equally likely that, at some point after that long-awaited victory, the Conservatives will get back in power again. And there’s the rub.
