"Together with other European leaders such as Friederich Merz and Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister has put forward several proposals for ending in a just and sustainable manner the war in Ukraine, including "strong support for Ukraine's accession to the European Union." Nothing could better illustrate the incoherence of Starmer's European policy. He has been increasingly vocal in recent weeks about the damage done to the British economy by Brexit; and now he recognises, rightly, that Ukrainian membership of the EU would be a major contribution to European peace and stability."
"I suspect Starmer has now lost track entirely of the self-contradictions and anomalies arising from his dysfunctional policy towards the EU. "But this is a particularly flagrant example of double-think. It begs the question as to why, if he so strongly endorses Ukrainian EU membership, he doesn't similarly support it for the UK. Sauce for the Ukrainian goose should be sauce for the British gander.""
Labour supports Ukrainian accession to the European Union while opposing British re-entry to the EU. The Prime Minister proposed several measures to achieve a just, sustainable end to the war in Ukraine, explicitly including strong support for Ukraine's EU accession. The Prime Minister has recently highlighted Brexit's damage to the British economy while also recognizing Ukrainian EU membership as beneficial for European peace and stability. The stance rejects serious consideration of UK rejoining the EU and is characterized as inconsistent and self-contradictory. A critique frames the position as double-think and questions why Ukrainian membership is endorsed but British membership is not.
