Starmer ends Labour silence on Brexit as he rules out rejoining single market

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : While the shadow foreign secretary, David Lammy, made similar points in a speech on Brexit last month, Starmer has faced criticism from some within Labour for appearing wary of attacking Johnson over the issue, in part because of his own political journey on the subject.
58% : The plan also offers "flexible labour mobility arrangements" for people making short-term business trips between the UK and EU, and for musicians and artists embarking on tours.
50% : In contrast, the SNP said Starmer "has strengthened the case for independence by embracing the Tories' hard Brexit", while the Greens said it was "quite perverse of Keir Starmer to stick his head in the sand and insist he will make Brexit work".
44% : Labour leader says he will rebuild trust with EU and get 'a better deal for the British people'Keir Starmer has thrown Labour back into the Brexit debate by ruling out any return to the single market or customs union, but arguing he could remove trade and travel barriers as prime minister because the EU would trust him.
