The Burnham/Brexit thing is terrarium of Labour's failure: by not confronting lies in the past, and not being willing to call them out now, they both deprive themselves of real arguments about inequality and come off as triangulating, rather than honest.
This isn't hard; e.g.: "Farage lies about who is making us poorer because dividing people that work is how those who don't escape paying their fair share. He lied then, and it's hurt us for a decade. And he's lying now to cover his tracks."
