The leader of the Labor opposition, Keir Starmerhas promised to “rewrite the Brexit agreement” while passing through Canada and a day before his meeting in Paris with the president Emmanuel Macron. Starmer raised his international profile during the center-left party conference in Montreal, where he was received by the prime minister Justin Trudeau.
“Everyone recognizes that the agreement reached with the European Union by Boris Johnson not good and it falls too short,” Starmer told the Financial Times while passing through Canada. “In 2025 we will try to negotiate a much better agreement.”
Keir Starmer’s Labor Party currently leads the Premier’s Conservative Party Rishi Sunak by 18 points (44% to 26%) in the poll of polls The Politico. A general election is due at the end of 2024, and unless Starmer shoots himself in the foot, the vast majority of Britons assume a relief in powerafter 14 years and five successive prime ministers tories in the midst of the turmoil caused by Brexit.
Starmer, once a supporter of permanence, however reiterated that has no intention of requesting re-entry into the EU and reopen the box of thunder… “The point is not to go back. We have to try to make the agreement work. I refuse to accept that we cannot make it work. And I am thinking of future generations when I say that.”
“I say this as the father of a 15-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl,” stressed the 61-year-old Labor leader. “I’m not going to let them grow up in a world where all I can tell them is that they’re going to have a worse future than they could have had otherwise. I’m absolutely determined to make this work.”
