Keir Starmer is clearly manoeuvring to get Britain to rejoin the EU – but Brexit is not to blame for Britain’s appalling growth record, says Paul Ormerod

David Lammy, the deputy Prime Minister, chose last week to reopen the issue of the UK rejoining the EU.

Asked if we will go back into the customs union, Lammy not only refused to rule it out, but seemed enthusiastic about it. “That is not currently our policy. That’s not currently where we are. But you can see countries like Turkey with a customs union seemingly benefiting and seeing growth in their economy, and again, that’s self-evident”, he stated.

The campaign to reverse Brexit is clearly hotting up rapidly. Keir Starmer has been talking about a “reset” with the EU.

The Prime Minister’s denial of the claim that he wanted to rejoin the EU will convince no-one, especially given his track record on U-turns, volte faces. Whatever name you give it, Starmer is an expert at it
