Labour's Brexit position

Congratulations to @MattChorley for the following:

Labour’s position is that they would get a better deal in two months than the government has managed in two years by asking more nicely; but if they needed longer, ...

...they could use the transition period to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement that must be agreed for the transition period to come into effect;

and he doesn’t like the Brexit deal agreed by Brussels, because it doesn’t provide the exact same benefits of EU membership that he disliked because of state aid and competition rules;

but remaining is not necessarily better than leaving with no deal at all; and the outcome of the referendum must be respected; but all options remain on the table

but a second referendum is not an option for today but could be tomorrow; and if it were, Corbyn doesn’t even know how he would vote.
