>Britain’s biggest trade union body has called on the Labour government to consider rejoining an EU customs union, reopening a core Brexit fault line as the party grapples with weak growth and rising pressure from its traditional base.
>In an interview with the Guardian, Trades Union Congress (TUC) General Secretary Paul Nowak said Labour should seek the closest possible economic relationship with the EU to ease trade friction and support household incomes.
>“The government needs to do whatever it can to build the closest possible positive working relationship with Europe economically and politically … up to and including the customs union,” Nowak said.
just come back already!
It’s sad that UK decided to leave EU, but in the same time it’s too proud to realise that the best way is just to revert the brexit
TUC’s Paul Nowak urges Starmer not to rule out EU customs union for closer ties and growth (Guardian interview). Starmer holds red lines to protect trade deals. Shift coming, or firm no? Thoughts?
Why asking Labour, they should ask Farage and Johnson if they still think Brexit was a good idea. They promised saving millions right?
Reform are at 30% in the polls, the Tories on around 20% of the vote. Labour won a massive landslide on their previous platform of not rejoining the single market or the customs union because people wanted Brexit to just be over.
The underlying problem is that the pro-EU movement in the UK is lazy and incompetent. Rather than actually doing the hard work of going out, making their case to people that disagree with them, and sticking with it despite being difficult, what inevitably happens is they just completely ignore the difficult democratic processes and hang around rich, London parties saying ‘wouldn’t it be nice if we just rejoined’.
This is perhaps exemplified best in the movements complete delusion over what ‘deal’ we would get if we were to try to rejoin. The rebate is gone, we would be legally required to join the Euro, and there would be a reasonable expectation that we were properly buying into the European project. Instead, the argument made is basically just EFTA with a fudge over anything politically inconvenient.
My highly controversial view is that the pro-EU movement in the UK remains in near complete denial, and has not yet come to terms with the depths of their failure. They still seem to think the answer is to just wait until old people die and then rerun the referendum like nothing has changed, while leaving all of the deeper underlying structural problems unresolved.
