It shouldn’t travel arsenic a astonishment that Labour are much funny successful cosying up to the European Union than seizing the benefits of Brexit.

Keir Starmer was beforehand and centre of the run against leaving, and repeatedly voted to support Britain wrong the Single Market.

I’m surely not surprised.
