Rejoin the EU to solve UK’s economic woes and tackle small boats crisis, Kinnock tells Starmer
Former workers’ leader Neil Kinnock told Sir Keir Starmer that it was the time to re -participate in the European Union to alleviate the country’s economic problems and to comprehend the small boat crisis.
Lord Kinnock, who led the Labor Party from 1983 to 1992, said that Britain could no longer meet the “great self -harm losses verilen created by leaving the European Union, and that the restoration of the membership would be a great support for growth.
He said he understood the reluctance within the government, but he said, “Sooner or later we want to be a part of a body of a single market with our nearest neighbors,” he said.
The comments of a former European Commissioner and Vice President of the European Commission Lord Kinnock’s comments, Rachel Reeves’ warnings that he will have to collect taxes in the budget in November to meet the self -imposed debt rules. On Friday, experts warned unexpectedly high government borrowing figures in August that tax increases were “inevitable”.
Lord Kinnock said: “If we re -participate, we can get rid of the economic growth deficit of £ 100 billion per year, which means that the government has lost 40 billion pounds in tax revenue.
“This helps our economy greatly at a desperate time.
“Not marginal, about five percent of GDP is added to our economy,” he added. “I think it was time to always look at the EU again.”
Lord Kinnock also argued that EU membership would strengthen the ability to manage the UK’s migration, because Sir Keir could not comprehend illegal migration with small boats at a record height.
Approximately 1,000 people crossed the channel in Dinghies on Friday, so far only three immigrants were able to deport under a, One ,, after the last -minute legal difficulties.
Lord Kinnock said: “We will be a part of the Dublin protocol, and it will help the crisis of small boats,” he said. “Under this protocol, which we participated in until 2021, when we completely abandoned the EU, everyone who comes in irregular ways can be returned to their last EU country. [France].
“At that time, we did not have to do this as very, very, very few people who came in irregular ways. Why? Why? Because they knew they would be sent back when they were caught. We had to leave the Dublin protocol. Migration.”
Lord Kinnock said that the system was never properly implemented before Brexit.
“If you don’t have a job in three months after moving in a single market, if you need to go home. Before Brexit, we had an unlimited system, and it was a mistake because people didn’t come to work here, as they required assurance that they were not as welcome as they contributed.
“When we had figures before the referendum, the immigrant workers from the rest of the European Union earned more than 2.6 to 3 billion pounds per year. For very understandable reasons, young people, working, there was almost no demand for NHS, they were not unemployed.
Lord Kinnock asked Britain to return to full EU membership, but would support to stay out of the block if Britain joined the single market again.
“The most logical offer was taken back by my son Steve in 2018 [Kinnock, MP and care minister]defending a common market. In other words, he is re -participating in the European Free Trade Association with Norway. This would mean that we were in the single market and customs union, we would not have to accept the rules of the European Union without the Commissioner Council or in Parliament.
“Even though I prefer the idea of restraining full membership because it gives UK power and impact on the closest and largest market of the European Union.
The worker admitted that he would face political difficulties to re -enter.
“Something a worker government can do, but without an easy and great argument, an obstacle. Indeed, in some way, indeed, in a way, indeed, indeed, indeed, in a way, indeed, indeed, in a way, in some way, indeed, indeed, in a way, in a way, in some way, in some way, in some way, in a way, in a way, later, to realize ourselves, and later, really, in a way, really, really, really, really, really, really They understood that they understood what they understood because they understood.
For the first time in recent months, Lord Kinnock called the government to adopt a different stance on certain issues. In July, he claimed that a reserve tax would support public finances without breaking Labour’s election commitments, while at the beginning of this month, those who supported the Palestinian action claimed that Sir Keir was not a terrorist in the last coup.
A government spokesman: “We will not participate in the European Union again.
“Thanks to the new UK-France Treaty, people who come to small boats can now be detained and can be sent back to France and the first feedback takes place this week.”
