Well, considering he didn’t merely favour Remain, but actively tried to overturn the referendum result and made numerous trips to the EU negotiators to consult about scuppering Britain’s interests, he might well mean turning it into a Brexit-In-Name-Only and favour the EU, where his real loyalties lie.

I won’t hold my breath. Starmer could do this, he could do that, but he is not a free agent.

I think Starmer would find it easier governing the country than turning the Labour party around!

The problem is, Starmer is probably not the person to lead Labour in this direction. He has too much previous on this subject, and people won’t forget. The other major problem is that too many people on the Left still retain an almighty hatred of Brexit, and they will take a while longer to get over it.
For Starmer to become P.M he may well have to form a coalition with the S.N.P. and or the Lib Democrats and both would demand much closer relations with the E.U. most certainly not make Brexit work!
