Re: Britain outside the EU
I think Sir Keir is quite happy have a low-policy manifesto so can't see this being included but once in power...

Keir Starmer facing pressure to offer new customs union policy with EU as Brexit regret rises

Keir Starmer is under pressure to adopt a more radical policy on Brexit ahead of the next election amid polling showing voters are increasingly disillusioned with the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.

A proposal to include negotiating a bespoke customs union with Brussels for the UK in Labour’s general election manifesto will be discussed at the party’s national policy forum later this month, i can reveal.

A number of Labour MPs believe there is a palpable shift in public opinion on Brexit due to comparatively worse inflation figures in the UK to Europe and ongoing issues with the trade deal with Brussels, and that space is now opening up for a “bolder” approach to Britain’s relationship with the EU.

However, it is understood that Sir Keir and Mr Lammy’s position to rule out rejoining the EU, or to countenance a single market or customs union deal, has not changed and that the policy of pursuing an improved trade deal in 2025 remains firm.

Polling for i this week showed that more voters want to rejoin the EU than stay out, while 57 per cent blame Brexit for high UK inflation – which is around three percentage points higher than in the Eurozone.
