SIR Keir Starmer has said he does not see the UK rejoining the European single market or customs union in his lifetime.Starmer, who voted Remain, previously ruled out the UK returning to the European Union, and a senior shadow cabinet minster has confirmed the party would not “re-open the wounds of the past”.The Brexit referendum took place more than eight years ago on June 23, 2016.
Speaking to reporters on the campaign trail in Carmarthen, he added: “I’ve been really clear about not rejoining the EU, the single market, or the customs union, or returning to freedom of movement. “Now obviously that’s subject to negotiation, at the moment my focus is on getting through to 10 o’clock tomorrow night and making sure that we have – what I hope will be – a mandate for change in this country.”
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
