Labour's Keir Starmer has been firm firm firm in insistence that the debate over the EU is over.

But he has been wrong about the EU , says the Labour leader.

Trade between the EU and the UK will be 15 per cent lower in the long run than if the UK had remained in the EU .

Fiddling with the deal is never going to reduce the current barriers to trade in the way that joining the Customs Union would.

The Liberal Democrats should seize the opportunity to win over liberal, pro-business, EU -sympathetic voters from both parties.

The Tories might be too far gone down the populist rabbit hole, but an effective Customs Union campaign by the Lib Dems would make some in Labour question Starmer ’s position.
