EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to Keir Starmer’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, where he called for closer trading ties between the UK and EU, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
“By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
“Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather.”
