Keir Starmer refuses to rule out rejoining EU as PM prepares for crunch talks

Sir Keir Starmer has refused to rule out rejoining the European Union in his lifetime as the Prime Minister prepares for crunch talks with continental countries “about how we can be closer”.

Sir Keir, who campaigned for a second referendum as Jeremy Corbyn’s Shadow Brexit Secretary, declined to comment on his stance on the bloc five times during an interview with The Observer.

The Prime Minister’s comments come just 18 months after he ruled out rejoining the EU ahead of the 2024 General Election.

Sir Keir is also coming under pressure from top Labour figures to forge closer ties with Brussels, including from his Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy.
