The article critiques the Conservative Party's hypocrisy in attacking Keir Starmer for his Brexit reset, highlighting the significant financial consequences of their own Brexit strategy, which cost billions and created unnecessary barriers with trading partners. It argues that Starmer, previously supportive of hard Brexit under Jeremy Corbyn, shares responsibility for the fallout of a decision that has significantly harmed Britain economically. The writer emphasizes that Brexit has not met public expectations and notes the challenges in restoring economic stability through new trade deals, thereby criticizing both Labour and Conservative leadership.
"The outcome was and is glaring. All serious estimates accept that Brexit has made Britain poorer to the tune of tens of billions of pounds."
"It was Corbyn and Starmer who could have stifled five years of the greatest act of self-harm by a British government since the Great Depression."
