Up until now, the Labour Front bench has been promising to “Fix the Tory Brexit”, a statement echoed by Rachel Reeves in her speech to Conference, but the plaster seems to be cracking. David Lammy, in an interview with the BBC suggested that getting it right will involve renegotiating Boris’s deals, a move from Starmer’s position in January. Why this is controversial, I have no idea, if Labour don’t get their first, the Tories will. I should add that there is a growing support for rejoining the Customs Union and Single Market as solutions to the Northern Irish problems and the UK wide shortages and inflation.
Fix the Tory Brexit, I don’t think so!
The point about the Tories, is reinforced y David Frost’s speech to Tory Party conference, he argues to reopen negotiations on the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Lammy has been promoted to Foreign Secretary and is now parroting the “Fix Brexit” line. This was hopeful but wrong.
