If Labour are willing to bin their manifesto pledges on tax rises, why not on Brexit? That would win them far, far more votes than raising taxes ever will. Indeed, tax rises are likely to crater their weak support even further. What's so magical about Brexit that it must remain untouchable?

To be part of the largest UK trade delegation ever sent to India was an incredible honour. This is devolution in action. Mayors working with the government to secure the jobs and investment that will put more money in people’s pockets back home.
