Photo of Starmer speaking 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.
