Economists Warn Starmer’s Growth Plan ‘Doomed’ Without Access to EU Markets

Economists and diplomats are cautioning that Keir Starmer's growth plan for the UK will not succeed without access to EU markets. They suggest that a Labour government led by Starmer would need to rejoin the customs union to fulfill the party's manifesto promises. A recent poll by Opinium for the Observer reveals that 56% of voters believe Brexit has had a negative impact on the UK economy, while only 12% think it has been beneficial. This highlights the importance of re-establishing ties with the EU to maximize economic growth.
