Sir Keir Starmer and his pragmatic leadership is exactly what we need right now and is in the best interests of the UK.
In a statement in the Commons just now, he has laid out just how he was able to raise many areas of disagreement with China on his recent visit.

Starmer signals closer alignment with EU's single market to ease harm caused by Brexit
Starmer attacks Farage over
'botched' Brexit
The Labour leader has outlined the party's ambition for closer cooperation with Europe
"He said if we left the EU there would be less red tape for trading into Europe
- try telling that to any business that is trading into Europe.
"He said if we left the EU regular migration would go down - it quadrupled under the Boris wave. So I wouldn't listen too much to what Nigel Farage has to say about this."
Sir Keir described the previous government's Brexit deal as "botched" and highlighted Labour's efforts to negotiate new arrangements, including on food and agriculture, which he said
"lead to lower prices in our supermarkets".
Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse.
At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism.

The EU's so bitter about
Brexit it's trying to destroy the UK car industry - it's pathetic
The European Union has plans for strict new manufacturing rules, which could leave UK brands at serious risk, says Luke Chillingsworth.

The man behind donations of £200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

✅ Clarkson is right, people aren’t voting Reform for policies 👉there aren’t any.
It’s a protest vote powered by nostalgia not a plan for future.
Reform use farming as a prop. Their real plan is USA trade deal, hormone-treated imports and they’ve appointed Ben Goldsmith

Awkward for Farage because a good number of Clarkson's many hardcore fans are natural Reform voters and will listen to him.

Goodwin literally had a hissy fit when Alan Rusbridger & David Aaronovitch went for dinner after an event they all did together & chose not to ask him. He’s palpably desperate to go to fictional dinner parties that exist only in his warped imagination. Instead he gets to suck lemons with 30p Lee.
