If you ever wonder why Starmer is publicly blind to the issue of rejoining, here's why.
The only reason a very rich country like the UK would Brexit is to turn the UK into patchworks of corporate sovereignties and use State aid for companies as corporate welfare.

Ultimately, dont forget about us. Next time you want to order a book online, consider buying it from an indie bookshop (it won't just be us having this problem!)
And when you do, share that with other people. Reviews, posts, pictures. It all helps!

To prove my point, Starmer has just sacked the chair of the Competition and Markets Authority for failing "to convince them it was sufficiently focused on growth".
The CMA is legislated to improve competition, and consumer protection; nothing to do with growth.

Starmer has now moved onto squeezing our purported guardians against mass corporate buggering, by asking them how corporations can better bugger us.
