Keir Starmer is being accused of “betraying the 2016 Brexit vote” by seeking, in his “Brexit Reset” today, a closer relationship with the EU in an effort to improve our economy. And here’s why we shouldn’t care.
The Brexit vote was nearly 10 years ago. We voted on it before we’d even negotiated what Britain’s new relationship with the EU would be. Everyone, including the parties who supported it, thinks the new relationship is a disaster. And we’re in a poverty crisis that matters a lot more than all of the above. The only betrayal would be tolerating that poverty by not going far enough against Brexit.
