Yes, Labour's manifesto included "red lines" on Brexit.
It also included, much more prominently, the aim to get the British economy growing again.
It turns out that these two aims are incompatible – even more so given the current global situation.
So ditch the red lines.

When Trump talks about trade barriers, he means lowering our high British standards.
We must draw a red line—no to US vulture firms undermining our NHS, no to giving up online safety and no to lowering our food standards.
