Union leader asks Starmer to consider EU deal

Union leader asks Starmer to consider EU deal

The head of the Trades Union Congress, Paul Nowak, wants Sir Keir Starmer to consider the UK re-entering the EU customs union. Nowak believes this would lower costs and ease trade issues created after Brexit. He stated that industries such as automotive and steel would benefit from closer European links. According to Nowak, supermarket prices are high partly due to Brexit. This comes as Wes Streeting and David Lammy reportedly favour closer EU ties, despite Starmer's pledge against customs union membership.
