Kinnock tells Starmer to consider rejoining the EU to tackle small boats crisis Lord Kinnock says he understands it would not be easy but ‘if we really want sustained economic growth, we have to be part of a body of the single market with our nearest neighbours’

I chatted with Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader recently... And he gave Keir Starmer one piece of advice:

"Look at rejoining the EU to grow the economy, stop the boats, AND boot out Farage all at the same time"

Lowering the vote to 16 won't save Labour from Reform A party seeking to secure its youth vote without having done the political legwork to earn it is reckless.

📰 Latest column for @MetroUK

Votes at 16 is not a bad policy. But it’s not a silver bullet for Starmer either. Not when you’ve got Nigel Farage playing the anti-politics game better than anyone

Labour can’t afford to underestimate him. Again.
