The EU has prohibited the UK from joining the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean trade pact due to concerns about Labour's lack of pro-EU actions and the rising threat from Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. The European Commission is particularly worried about the potential for unfair tariff access, and the chance of a Reform-led government in the future. Rejoin EU Party officials argue Labour should focus on rejoining the single market to address economic issues and counter far-right populism.
The commission has blocked British access to the PEM - a step which would markedly reduce trade frictions in some of our key supply chains for products such as fruit and veg.
Polls show the likelihood of a Reform-led government in four years' time, and if the UK wants such access, it needs to become more pro-EU.
