Larry nails it

The Guardian's great asset is L Elliott and it is a real shame he gets relegated to the middle bits amid all the dull biznews. If the Graun wants to restore expertise to public discourse it could well start with him.

I have cited his reasons for voting Brexit before, but here he is with an implication for Labour: 

Labour’s approach has thus far been one of studied ambiguity. To put up a decent show in the general election in June, Corbyn needed to hold together a coalition of leave voters in the north and Midlands with remain voters in London and the other big cities. So the line was that Labour accepted the result of the referendum but would seek to secure access to the single market in any negotiations....

Should Labour simply oppose or abandon Brexit, which many Remainer media folk wanted?

There are, though, one or two drawbacks to this approach. One is that quite a lot of the 17 million people who voted leave in the referendum were cheesed off with the status quo and don’t want it resurrected. A second is that many of the measures that a Labour government might want to introduce to remedy Britain’s structural weaknesses – increased state aid, infant industry protection, public ownership – would be harder to implement, or actually prohibited, inside the EU. A third is that it would be profoundly anti-democratic...the direction of travel for decades has been entirely in the opposite direction, towards a destination where budgets have to balanced, where countries have to deflate their way back to growth, where the nation state must bend the knee to market forces and competition and where neoliberal ideas hold sway. A Corbyn-led government could make a success of reform and remain, but only if it could win the support of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and a Council of Ministers, none of which are exactly awash with kindred spirits.

Elsewhere there are also signs of renewal.with this article that actually attempts to set out pros and cons of Brexit for the food industry. There is possibly a slight leaning towards the cons, and a rather uncritical repetition of a constant remainer 'lie' -- that it is the EU that provides subsidies somehow by itself with its own money. 

But it's a start and an improvement on the constant lament about the price of British strawberries if we can't persuade hapless migrants to break their backs picking them for crap wages.

And Elliott idicates a choice for Grauniadistas too -- Remain or end austerity, beause you can't have both.
