Two-thirds of 2024 Labour voters would rather Sir Keir Starmer abandon his Brexit red lines and join a customs union with the European Union than raise taxes on working people, new polling has revealed.
The poll comes after reports that the prime minister rejected calls from his chief economic adviser for Britain to rejoin the EU’s customs union in an attempt to improve growth ahead of the Budget, with the chancellor instead choosing to impose £26bn worth of tax rises after asking “ordinary people to pay a little bit more”.
