Keir Starmer: No case for going back into EU
Keir Starmer: No case for going back into EU
Conservative ministers have accused the Labour leader of wanting to reverse Brexit.
Starmer wants that sweet sweet Brexit Red Wall vote so he's not going to offer anything meaningful by way of rejoin.
Me: Time to vote for a party that wants to rejoin.
Militant Leftists: A vote for anyone other than Labour is a vote for the Tories.

He needs to get in.
I'm still dismayed by the ref result, but he needs to get in first and then enact change. This is gonna take time, and it sucks.
While I think this is the right stance for the next election for this particular issue I do get disheartened with the lack of ambition being talked about by him. Reason being is I expect him to stick to what he campaigns on, unlike Boris or Rishi who I wouldn't trust to stick to a single pledge in their manifesto and actually deliver something very different (if at all) in reality.
We need radical improvements to education, health, law and order, housing, etc. We can't do that without increasing the money the government has, through some combination of raising taxes, improving the economy, or reducing spend. It's not going to be possible to do this without annoying a large cross section of Tory voters he is courting and needs to court. If he sticks to what he campaigns on, are we really going to have to wait for the GE after next?
