US EditionKeir Starmer pledges to seek major rewrite of Brexit deal
- Sir Keir Starmer plans to negotiate a "much better" Brexit deal with the EU if Labour wins the next election, stating that the current deal is "too thin" and needs improvement. However, he rules out re-joining the customs union, single market, or the EU. It remains uncertain if Brussels would be open to major changes to the agreement agreed upon by Boris Johnson in 2021.
- Despite wanting a better deal, Sir Keir has repeatedly promised to "make Brexit work" and that he would not seek to rejoin the EU. Labour's current lead in political polls indicates that a general election may occur in 2024. Sir Keir believes that a closer trading relationship and a better deal can be negotiated with Brussels.
- Sir Keir's recent activities include meeting EU law enforcement agency Europol and planning to meet French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss post-Brexit relations. Moreover, Labour faces pressure from its main union backer Unite, which is pushing for more radical policies on energy and steel.
