Labour leader Keir Starmer has firmly stated that there will be no rejoining of the EU, single market, or customs union, as reopening the Brexit debate would only lead to "turmoil." Starmer made it clear to reporters that this has never been part of the Labour party's plan, nor is it in their manifesto. "We’re not rejoining the EU, we’re not rejoining the single market or the customs union," Starmer emphasized. "That isn’t our plan. It never has been. I’ve never said that as leader of the Labour party, and it’s not in our manifesto."

The election campaigns are heating up in the South of England, which has emerged as a major battleground for the upcoming elections. This week, various events have slowed down the campaign, with Rishi Sunak being more affected than Sir Keir Starmer. Both party leaders have been focusing on visiting fewer but more marginal constituencies compared to last week.
