Seems like every high ranking Labour minion is suggesting rejoining apart from Keir.
Is he afraid he’ll lose a bunch of red wall votes to Reform? Country before party. Yeah right.
“Sure it will improve our economy, and the vast majority of the membership of my party want this, but I might make reform voters angrier if I do this so I’ll have to say no”
Grow a fucking backbone and lead the UK instead of chasing voters you’ve already lost Starmer.
We’d be lowering our farming standards of we rejoined. The EU is winning the race to the bottom on that one, pretty fucking ironic.
How does having to comply with standards lower than ours force us to lower standards? We’d already exceed them and so there would be no reason to change any regulations.
It’s just ironic how it was going to be the UK that was going to start the race to the bottom, yet it’s the EU that’s weakened their farming rules
The CAP is crap, and subject to political capture by the very people who receive the revenue.
First sensible thing he’s said.
A customs union (as opposed to a free trade agreement) would basically mean allowing the EU to decide what external tariffs we have
