The idea that #Starmer actually attempted to obtain a #SingleMarket, in #goods only, from #Brussels, when he ought to have known that it would be rejected out-of-hand is utterly risible, @ChrisMayLA6. He should know for a cast-iron fact that it's all 4 freedoms - or NONE of them! The #Tories wanted #free #movement of #capital, #goods & #services, but not labour, & were told they couldn't have their cake & eat it. The same rule applies!

The #LibDems have finally come off the fence, & are now calling for #Britain (NOT the #UK, as #NorthernIreland is already in it, de facto, if not de jure) to re-join the #SingleMarket. That makes 100% #economic #sense, but it entails restoring #free #movement, so the #Tories & #ReformUK will be vehemently opposed, but so, too, will #Labour, @ChrisMayLA6!
