Brendan Donnelly emphasized at the National Rejoin March that there is growing awareness of the economic damage caused by Brexit, stating, 'We're shocked and appalled by Brexit and we think it should be reversed.' He pointed out that mainstream politicians avoid discussing Brexit, but 'people still care very much about Europe and understand the damage' it inflicts on the UK, highlighting a significant shift in public sentiment.
Donnelly critiqued Keir Starmer's approach, saying, 'I'm afraid Keir Starmer has started off quite unimpressively.' He believes Starmer is delusional in thinking that simply engaging with Brussels will yield satisfactory results, stating, 'If he wanted to re-join the single market... it would be economically enormously valuable for this country.' He urged Starmer to consider alternatives for economic growth beyond rigid red lines.
Addressing Starmer's cautious stance on youth mobility, Donnelly remarked, 'The youth mobility proposals... have been rejected, very unnecessarily in my view.' He characterized this rejection as 'an over-cautious, cowardly way of doing these things,' suggesting that a broader approach could reconnect the UK with the EU and address essential needs like freedom of movement.
