I am pleased to have received a nomination to stand as Labour’s Keighley parliamentary candidate from the Labour Movement for Europe. The Labour Party accepts that Britain is now outside the European Union but that there is a clear case to have a more positive relationship with our neighbours and allies. Our trade with both the European Union and the rest of the world has declined since Brexit and exports have not recovered after COVID as they have in other major European economies. In the fields of the economy, education the environment and fighting crime there is much scope for increased co-operation.
Under the proposed legislation all laws, whether reviewed or not, would be switched off by the government on 31 December 2023, placing a huge burden on the civil service.Surely there must be other priorities at this time?
