Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : but not surprising - to learn a specially recruited battalion of more than 100 civil servants has been given the task of detailed negotiations with the EU.
52% : No doubt the issue of 'free movement' - the reopening of borders to EU citizens - will also be raised.
47% : But it will also want a backdoor revival of the single market by imposing EU rules on our goods and services.
45% : Indeed, as a metropolitan lawyer and lifelong Leftist radical, why should he have anything against the EU?
42% : In July 2022, with a Labour election victory at last in prospect, Sir Keir pulled back from this position, or at least appeared to, saying: 'So let me be very clear: with Labour, Britain will not go back into the EU.
42% : It is shocking and dismaying to learn a specially recruited battalion of more than 100 civil servants has been given the task of detailed negotiations with the EU (file photo)
40% : Well, since then, other pledges made by Sir Keir and senior members of his front bench have turned out to be less than wholly reliable, so why should we assume that the visceral opinions of the North London Leftists who run Labour have been forever silenced?Millions of British people may see the EU as interfering, as stealing our sovereignty and abolishing our borders.
38% : They may see the EU as economically sclerotic and politically hopeless, with almost every major EU country now menaced by far-Right movements scoring high in the polls.
34% : With Donald Trump moving into the White House in January - with momentous implications for transatlantic trade - Brussels would no doubt like to bind the UK by offering looser trade barriers.
32% : Lord Frost, our former Brexit negotiator who knows more about bargaining with the EU than almost anyone else, says this is clear evidence of a Labour plan to rejoin the EU.
