Squarely putting himself at odds with Central Labour policy. Maybe he should vote Green?
It’s more likely that this will result in his expulsion from the Labour Party than in any shift in policy.
While the chance of a shift in policy is low-ish (at least while Starmer is in charge), there is a zero percent chance this will result in Khan being expelled from the Labour party.
I can’t see that being likely. The current Labour admin seems cautiously pro-rejoin but just recognises that the public is too divided for rejoin to be actual policy (for them, I’m not meaning to say that that’s an objectively correct viewpoint)
He’s really wants to torpedo labour outside of London?
Got any evidence for that? The majority of people think brexit was a failure and are in favour of rejoining, and within labour (and libdems and greens) it’s an even bigger majority. Source: yougov
56% overall, not exactly a huge majority, that could easily change once people start talking about what rejoining would actually mean in practical terms. Also your own source says the majority think it should not be a priority in the current time.
(Also it says fewer people support joining the customs union and single market than support rejoining the EU, which is odd considering rejoining the EU inherently means joining both of those.)
I never said it was a huge majority (although significantly bigger than the majority that got us out in the first place). But your comment suggests that rejoining is unpopular outside London, and I found no evidence for that. Hence my question if you have anything to back up your initial comment.
Hilarious, as if the EU would ever want the UK again.
You don’t think it was a net benefit to both when the UK was in the EU? Think of it in purely financial terms. Is the EU better off with a large country driving money into the bloc?
We were one of their biggest contributors. By a large margin. And we benefited immensely from their markets and our protected currency.
Shooting ourselves in the foot does not even begin to describe what both sides lost
