Though I gotta say it's very impressive how quickly and how badly Swinson and the rest of Lib Dem high command have sunk their own ship. That takes some commitment.

It appears they've fired their opening salvo right into their own arsenal.

Depends where you live but North Oxfordshire villages in the west of Banbury constituency like Hook Norton might be really quite close to you.

Why on earth is Kuenssberg retweeting this without any comment whatsoever? The Tories should be getting absolutely loving skewered on this poo poo - 9 years in charge, they have literally nowhere to hide and no excuses to make, but she just retweets this as it is.

I thought the current labour policy was that "free movement will end" and they were going for a customs union rather than single market membership.

The Customs Union and Single Market are different things. You can have one or both. It's pretty much a given that Labour will negotiate into staying in the SM, IMO. TBH.

Conference passed a motion to keep free movement so who knows until the manifesto is done.

That whole statement has very much been a matter of fact without any further real clarification beyond it to avoid having to confront the issue though, so we’ll see some sort of confirmation soon as to what is actually the intention.

Well that's the thing, that was - if not policy - the line that most of the front bench were using up until Conference, with evasiveness when pressed on it after the Conference vote, because this is probably the only time the PLP Brains Trust and (some of) the unions have lined up on the same side of an argument against the membership.

Other way round, isn't it? A customs union - not *the* Customs Union - can be done without free movement of people, the Single Market requires the Four Freedoms.

Well yes hence the idea of there being a fight, conference wants free movement but whether we'll get it depends on the people making the manifesto, and that's certainly contrary to what the front bench has previously said on the topic.

Also this, hence why I assumed customs union rather than single market because single market would explicitly mean free movement.

Yeah, since the policy was decided off the back of 2018 and the disparity against 2019 there might well be some big changes. I’m remaining hopeful and that Abbott tweet is a good sign.
