Brexit Dominated British Politics For A Decade

Labour Will Not Rejoin EU Single Market, Customs Union, or Implement Free Movement

Brexit Dominated British Politics for a Decade

For a decade, leaving the European Union was the question that dominated British politics. In a landmark move, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has ruled out rejoining the EU single market, customs union, or adopting free movement in Labour's manifesto.

New UK-EU Security Pact

Instead, Labour will seek an ambitious new UK-EU security pact to strengthen cooperation on common threats and rebuild relationships with key European allies.

Confrontation with Pro-EU Sentiment

Starmer's decision sets up a potential future confrontation with the pro-EU movement. However, a report suggests that Labour's plans to improve the UK's trading relationship with Europe will have minimal impact on reducing the economic costs of Brexit.
