By 2035 virtually no one under 55 will have voted for Brexit.
Those under 37 didnโt have the vote.
Those who will be 37-55 will have overwhelmingly voted remain.

1. A reset with EU
2. Negotiations to rejoin single market
3. Referendum to rejoin EU

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
