    The people of UK should now know that there was no free lunch with Brexit - you want your freedom and prevent free flow of people and capital, you would pay handsomely through your economy.
    The people who voted for Brexit may not like immigration but inadvertently they limited opportunities for their children and their children's children.

    ....it is called Unintended Consequences...
    Brexit is costing the UK economy £100 billion a year1. The effects include business investment and the ability of companies to hire workers. Studies estimate that the economic costs of the Brexit vote were 2% of GDP2.

    ...Starmer knows by fixing this, it can re-invigorate the UK economy (its the lowest hanging fruit there is) but the price to pay would be back to free flow of people and capital.
    ...if David Cameron had not shake the bees nest then with a referendum, UK need not have those lost years and more to return to where it was, if it could.
    Sir Keir Starmer to renegotiate Britain's post-Brexit deal in weeks

    • Prime Minister wants to relax freedom of movement and remove trade barriers
    • EU sources believe he is willing to sign the UK back up to some Brussels rules
    • But Boris Johnson warned: 'We are on the road to serfdom under Starmer'
    Sir Keir Starmer will start the process to renegotiate Britain's post-Brexit deal within weeks, The Mail on Sunday has been told.


    The new Prime Minister wants more relaxed freedom of movement rules and lower trade barriers, EU sources believe, and is willing to sign the UK back up to some Brussels rules in exchange.

    They are expecting him to use a summit at Winston Churchill's birthplace, Blenheim Palace, later this month to unofficially set the wheels in motion.

    But Boris Johnson last night sounded the alarm about any renegotiation, warning: 'We are on the road to serfdom under Starmer.'

    And his Brexit negotiator Lord Frost said Labour would take every chance to 'chip away at our national independence'.


    Sources expect him to seek the removal of trade barriers in exchange for 'dynamic alignment' – Brussels jargon for being subject to EU red tape.

    Labour last night insisted the issue was 'not on the agenda', but Sir Keir has previously promised a 'much better' trade deal with Brussels than the five-year agreement Mr Johnson signed in 2020.
