This is how Conservative/Reform gets in at the next election. Natural Labour voters will stay home. People who like the new rhetoric won’t vote Labour anyway.

You’ve moved the Overton Window. It is:
Soft Brexit - SM/CU, consistent with the referendum and expectations in July 2016
Hard Brexit - outside the SM/CU but with a skinny trade deal (what we have, c4% of GDP lost)
No Deal Brexit - utterly unthinkable at the time of the referendum; disaster.

In the 2017 Treasury impact assessments, new trade deals with all possible non-EU partners were only worth 0.5% to the level of UK GDP fifteen years out - with a comprehensive US deal about half of this.
Meanwhile, the OBR reckons Brexit has knocked off 4-5% from GDP.
