From what I read in the FT, the Ukraine war has brought Europe together more so these are now far less tense negotiations. And having a more pragmatic PM is helpful too.

I think a far closer relationship will occur over time - gravity of trade drives this. I believe Labour has plans to align veterinary standards to try and improve food exports to the EU.

I agree. Given the economic disaster that Brexit is, I can see EFTA alignment and then entry sooner rather than later. With the percentage of voters thinking it was wrong to Leave approaching 60%, EU alignment in some form is inevitable.
It is sort of ironic that the handling of Leave by the Party that spawned it, will accelerate its demise.
