Dean is right...starmer can't cherry pick his way out of this with "bilateral deals" and like you say, FoM includes 4 freedoms. not just people.
Meanwhile, the life expectancy of the UK is less than 10 years now, because of brexit.
My money is on NI to leave first, bringing an end to the UK.

two of the SM freedoms are capital & services.
This is worth a read: english nationalists want to leave the "bruitish" thing and the UK.
He's pandering to people who have died since 2016.
Pretty sure they aren't going to vote for him.
The entire generation who have come of age since 2016 just might vote for a Labour leader committed to reversing the damage they're suffering.
Instead they try to pretend it makes no difference & ignore the elephant in the room, as does the BBC.
factories in NI are benefitting because their WF Protocol deal kept NI largely in the EU SM for goods.
But he's going much further than simply not calling for one.
He's refusing to call out the Brexit damage for what it is.
He's put down a marker that we'll never Rejoin in his lifetime - as a promise not a prediction.
His pathetic side deals are cakeism.
It's as if he wanted a "mandate" for it. in other words, this is more deeply rooted in Labour.
He's actively bolstering it with a little deal to buy off Remainers, even though at best it'll only reverse 5% of the economic damage Brexit causes every year.
If we were still in the EU Reeves would have £40Billion more to play with - every year.
