Sir
Keir Starmer has declared there is “no case for re-joining” the
European Union as he rejected calls for the UK to become a member of the bloc in future.
The Labour leader said his party accepts the result of the 2016 referendum and won’t seek to overturn the outcome if he becomes Prime Minister.
Speaking
to BBC Radio Newcastle, he said: “We have exited the EU and we are not
going back - let me be very clear in the north east about that. There is
no case for rejoining.
“What I
want to see now is not just Brexit done in the sense that we’re
technically out of the EU, I want to make it work. I want to make sure
we take advantage of the opportunities and we have a clear plan for
Brexit.”
