If Labour still wants Brexit, and to avoid tearing itself apart, it needs to take up with vigour the idea of Associate EU Citizenship for those who want it - and ensure it is part of the Political Declaration.

The Treaties create a new legal order giving rights to the peoples - and not just the states - of Europe. The UK is not a monolith - and Associate EU Citizenship pulls from the wreckage of any Brexit something of inestimable value to those who choose to take it up.

When first proposed, the idea foundered because of a lack of interest from our own Government; an ugly disdain of those who saw and see their personal identities inextricably bound up with Europe.
