Sir Keir Starmer, Labour leader, has categorically ruled out rejoining the European Union if he becomes Prime Minister. This statement comes amid criticisms from economists and political commentators who argue that Starmer’s growth plan is 'doomed' without access to EU markets. The Observer reports that Starmer would need to rejoin the customs union to meet his party’s manifesto pledges. Kemi Badenoch has claimed that a vote for Labour is a vote to overturn Brexit, which Starmer has rejected.
