The RW papers, which already scream Brexit betrayal on a daily basis, will dial their criticism up
to 11 as soon as Labour changes a single atom of our relationship with the EU.
Given that, they might as well go for something spectacular instead of these tiny nibbles. It won't change the reaction.

Because they're terrified of accusations they're betraying Brexit. It's the same in so many areas. They're hiding their successes and yelling about their weaknesses.
It is remarkable how little effort Starmer has put into making the case for his renegotiation. No “Bloomberg” speech, no policy papers. An interview three days before deal day is the first outing of substance. If his pro-EU coalition gives him no credit for it, it’s because hes asked for none.
Keir Starmer: Why I love Eurovision — and my EU trade deal
The Prime Minister has proposed a deal which will bring the UK closer to the EU than it has been since Brexit — and thinks the British public will back him up. Read the interview ⬇️

This is what Roy Jenkins had to say about immigration on 8th November 1966, when he was Home Secretary.
Not only an economic case; but "To live apart, for a person, a city or a country, is to lead a life of declining intellectual stimulation."
