"We should, as a Labour party, fight the next general election with a clear manifesto commitment, a vote for Labour means we would rejoin the European Union. I think it's inevitable. President Trump is imposing tariffs to friend and foe, creating huge economic uncertainty that was unforeseen at the last general election. So the facts have changed. The evidence has changed, which is why this parliament, we should rejoin the customs union and single market."
"Khan said he saw on a daily basis the damage Brexit has done to not just London, but Londoners, the damage economically, socially and culturally. He cited new research conducted by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research and Goldman Sachs that suggested the UK economy would have grown by an additional 10% but for Brexit."
Sadiq Khan, London's mayor, advocates for Labour to promise full European Union membership in the next general election. He argues that circumstances have changed significantly since the 2016 Brexit referendum, pointing to economic instability caused by Donald Trump's tariffs and Middle East tensions affecting oil prices and cost of living. Khan emphasizes the economic damage Brexit has inflicted on London and the UK, referencing research from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research and Goldman Sachs indicating the UK economy would have grown an additional 10% without Brexit. He contends that Labour should make EU rejoin a clear, unequivocal manifesto commitment, presenting it as a direct alternative to the negative consequences of leaving the EU.
