Lammy says rejoining EU customs union could boost UK economy
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Deputy prime minister David Lammy has suggested that rejoining the European Union's customs union could increase economic growth as ministers increasingly hit out at the financial damage caused by Brexit. Mr Lammy refused seven times in an interview to rule out reversing Brexit, arguing that leaving the EU badly damaged the UK economy and saying Labour should consider closer integration with Brussels. The OBR forecasts that leaving the EU will reduce long-run productivity in Britain by 4 per cent. Poppypremium (PA) Before the Budget, chancellor Rachel Reeves said Brexit had an even bigger impact on Britain's economy than critics predicted."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech by sending journalists to report on developing stories. The outlet investigates matters such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word', highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent maintains free access to its reporting without paywalls and relies on donations to continue sending reporters to present both sides. In UK politics, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy suggested rejoining the EU customs union could increase economic growth, while the OBR forecasts a 4% long-run productivity loss from Brexit and senior Labour figures call for undoing its economic damage.
