They've had to back down because the EU made these things red lines for the agreements. At least it's the EU making them back down, not internal party members wanting their delicacies (as happened to the Tories in 2021).
I don't see how any other party (especially the Greens) could have acted differently here.

There is always the option to do something really stupid for the sake of ideology. Assuming everyone would avoid doing nationally self destructive things is naive these days.

I know, I just (naively) hope the left wing parties aren't as self-destructive as the right wig ones.

gasps and clutches pearls Y-you mean p-politicians lied? Poppycock! Tomfoolery! Say it aint so, say it aint so!
What idiot trusts any politcian?? If a politician asks me "How are you?" First of all, ai am finding a mirror to check if I really am or if the bastards is lying.

A labour manifesto promise means nothing. But its more about what isn't in it that they want that worries me...digital id etc.
An utterly reprehensible government. A repugnant party and an awful supporter base.
Unfortunately...I fear they are the only choice these days

They aren’t. Support the Greens if you can.

It's a no holds barred cash grab out there, loot while you can because the billionaires are in a race to own / destroy everything before their other billionaire buddies get those bragging rights.

Sorry, what? A trade deal is a billionaire cash grab?
