Mayor Sadiq Khan opined that while short-term rejoining the EU's single market is unlikely, it is vital not to dismiss these discussions entirely. He emphasized that barriers to trade with neighboring countries should be reduced, stating, "I think the reality is, in the short term, we probably aren't going to get back as members of the single market. But it's something we shouldn't be scared to talk about." This suggests an openness to exploring future relationships with the EU.
In his remarks, Khan also mentioned the government's stance on EU relations, indicating that the Prime Minister has made it a priority to reset relations with the EU but faces challenges due to fixed red lines. He highlighted that endeavors to improve trade relations should be prioritized, hinting at the broader implications of such policies for London's economic landscape.
