"The Labour government needs a radical game-changing plan to turn round its dire polling - and re-joining the EU is the only way to do it, the Rejoin EU Party says. The latest YouGov poll shows Labour languishing at 17% behind Nigel Farage's Reform UK on 27%, with the Tories also on 17%, the Greens on 16% and the Lib Dems on 15%. Keir Starmer and his colleagues have boxed themselves into a corner by refusing to re-join the single market, customs union and EU,"
"Labour also appears to be following Reform's narrative on immigration when it's increasingly clear that the best way the UK could handle migration is by being back in the EU and regaining access to mechanisms like the Dublin agreement, under which the first EU country an asylum seeker enters is typically responsible for processing their asylum application. Leaving the EU has made the UK even more of a target for people smugglers who know the UK now lacks such arrangements for dealing with applications, the Rejoin EU Party says."
"Re-joining would change the game for Labour - and it's the only game in town. No amount of fiddling around the edges will fix it. Labour needs to embrace the EU wholeheartedly - or face electoral meltdown at the next general election."
Labour polls at 17% while Reform UK leads on 27%, with the Conservatives at 17%, the Greens at 16% and the Lib Dems at 15%. Labour has rejected re-joining the single market, customs union and EU, creating a fiscal dilemma that may require tax rises, spending cuts, or both to fill a reportedly larger-than-expected £20bn Budget hole. Rejoining the EU would restore access to mechanisms such as the Dublin agreement for asylum processing and reduce incentives for people smugglers. Rejoining is presented as a single, radical option capable of addressing economic, political and migration challenges and averting electoral collapse.
