Despite speaking for over and hour, the Prime Minister made no mention of Britain's relationship with the EU despite the continued problems stemming from the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
Echoing the Chancellor's comments yesterday, the Prime Minister underlined the importance of securing economic growth but with the current Brexit deal estimated to be costing the UK economy in excess of £140bn per year, the omission of UK-EU relations from Keir Starmer's speech was conspicuous.
Best for Britain is campaigning for the new government to work towards a closer relationship with the EU to increase growth, security and opportunities for British people while protecting high British standards and protections.
Naomi Smith, Chief Executive of Best for Britain said,
"The Prime Minister said change has begun but made no mention of the change Britain really needs - meaningful change to the Brexit deal which continues to stifle growth, drive up costs and deprive opportunities for businesses and young people.
“Keir Starmer can unlock Britain's potential by working with our European partners to deliver beneficial regulatory alignment and a Youth Mobility Scheme.”
