The likes of Thornberry and McDonnell on the other hand would then campaign against the very deal they'd just negotiated. Hardly a snappy vote-winning strategy.
As Oz says, like him or loathe him, the PM's electoral stance is already nailed down and easy for voters to understand, as is that of the Lib Dems (the only party to actually come out straight and say they want to cancel Brexit completely). Labour on the other hand remain mired in confusion - or dither and delay, as Johnson would say.
