After months of saying nothing, Labour are now setting out what they would do if they win next year - and it’s bonkers.
In the last week alone we have had Labour announcing:
- Votes for 16 year olds
- Sticking to EU rules that block building new family homes
- A truly mad policy of signing up to an EU quota for the UK to take in MORE illegal immigrants who are already in safe European countries
- And now revising Brexit
Yesterday in Canada, Keir Starmer is saying he wants a “major rewrite of our Brexit deal”.
Wolfgang Munchau of EuroIntelligence absolutely nails this nonsense today:
“Sir Keir Starmer's attempt to re-write the relationship is based on a delusion…that it is possible to stay outside the single market and the customs union, and get a better deal. This is a political lie. It will almost certainly be exposed as such…
“Probably the biggest delusion yet to be unpicked is Sir Keir's repeated assertion that there is a better deal with the EU out there. This is simply not true. There was a lot of vindictive commentary from the EU during the entire Brexit process, but the deal that was eventually agreed was a reasonable third-country trade deal…
“If your bottom line is that you do not wish to rejoin the single market and the customs union, there really is not a lot more out there.”
And just to remind you, re-entering the single market and the customs union would mean:
❌ Bringing back free movement
❌ No more investment zones
❌ No new trade deals like our new membership of the Pacific CPTPP
