The two key problems for the Labour Party's stumbling policy of 'resetting' relations with the EU are:
it still wants to cherry-pick areas of 'reset' to the UK's advantage & seeks to enter arrangements without fully contributing;
the EU is increasingly reticent about any detailed rapprochement as it no longer expects Labour to survive the next election in power & assumes if ReformUK Ltd is anywhere near Govt. once again the UK's relations with the EU will be degraded.
