In the face of Trump’s threats, Britain’s best path is clearer than ever: hurry back to Europe | Stella Creasy
www.theguardian.com
Labour must urgently seek new roles and alliances, while also enhancing the UK’s own military capabilities, says Stella Creasy, MP and chair of the Labour Movement for Europe

Regarding defence:

The conclusion is inescapable: now is the time for the UK to reinforce, not wreck Europe’s security relationships, both through the European pillar of Nato and through cooperation with the EU. That means developing its own military capabilities as the US pulls back, as well as exploring a UK role in potential decision-making bodies such as a European security council.

Regarding the economy:

Labour should be open to renegotiating all barriers to cooperation – including integration with the single market in a Swiss-style deal.

Thoughts?

    I’m just saying, there were a lot of special considerations that will be gone now, plus all the insanity spent creating entirely new processes and rules will be trashed.

    I hope it works somehow, but then Leave always seemed like a joke gone really wrong.
