Of course, just like the war, "we don't talk about it"!
As far as Starmer and any new Labour Government is concerned Brexit is over. It is true the costs will rise, but right now the billions spent/lost/wasted on Covid are the real threat that a new government faces and the debt that has been incurred cannot all be put on the shoulders of future generations.
In any case the EU would not want us back with all the current problems, they have enough of their own.
The first problem for Starmer to solve is making it clear there is
no rabbit waiting to be pulled out of the hat, but that will only come when he is installed in No.10 with a large working majority.
A
social contract is what is required between the public and the Government, that everyone agrees on and how the contract will be funded, enforced and delivered on. Big hill to climb, but it has to be done...
