Sir Keir Starmer rules out UK rejoining EU single market
The Labour leader has said that he will seek a much better Brexit deal with the EU if Labour wins the next election
Sir Keir's comments come after months of speculation about Labour's post-Brexit plans
Sir Keir Starmer has ruled out the UK rejoining the EU single market in his lifetime.
The Labour leader said that he would seek a much better Brexit deal with the EU if Labour wins the next election, but he ruled out rejoining the single market or the customs union.
Sir Keir's comments come after months of speculation about Labour's post-Brexit plans. Some Labour MPs have called for the party to adopt a more pro-European stance, while others have argued that Labour should focus on other issues.
Sir Keir's comments suggest that he is trying to balance the different views within the Labour Party. He has ruled out rejoining the EU, but he has also said that he wants to improve the UK's relationship with the EU.
It remains to be seen whether Sir Keir's comments will be enough to satisfy all Labour MPs. Some may argue that he is not going far enough, while others may welcome his commitment to improving the UK's relationship with the EU.
