KEIR Starmer has been accused of “spreading obvious falsehoods” after suggesting returning to the EU single market would not boost the UK’s economic growth.
The Labour leader – who unveiled plans for a reformed UK on Monday alongside former prime minister Gordon Brown – told BBC Radio 4 he does not think there is a case for a “better Brexit”.
Asked if being part of the single market would boost economic growth, he told said: “No, at this stage, I don’t think it would. And there’s no case for going back to the EU or going back into the single market.”
