In happier days @CER_EU 's birthday parties, disproportionately hosted by @IrishEmbGB, were simultaneously expressions of Anglo-Irish closeness & Britain content & prosperous within the EU. May @Keir_Starmer 's speech there this evening mark the start of the road back. #Brexit https://t.co/UUb6KXFvA1

Listening to Keir Starmer at @CER_EU this evening. He rules out the UK rejoining the single market but promises “a plan to make Brexit work” and sets out five steps that the Labour government would take: pic.twitter.com/KvMgMFFm0l

Thank you @CER_EU and Irish Ambassador @AdrianGONeill for the invitation last night. Interesting speech. And a welcome reference to services. UK and EU can do better than the TCA on services! https://t.co/I6MkkbsN5R

Sir Keir Starmer says the UK "cannot afford to spend all our time looking over our shoulder" as he rules out rejoining the European Union.

.@Keir_Starmer says revisiting Brexit rows won't sort out the cost of living crisis. But we do need a plan to make Brexit work. Sorting out the NIP is the starting point. "We will eliminate most border checks" associated with the Brexit deal. pic.twitter.com/BUTAZAsXBY

Putin's actions should jolt the UK back to reality, @Keir_Starmer tells @CER_EU birthday party at @EmbassyIreland . A threat to one European country is a threat to all, & we need more security co-operation. pic.twitter.com/FV4HD2Bgtd

No, there is some logic to what @Keir_Starmer is saying. If you want to get a better relationship with the EU, you need a Labour government. That means winning back red wall seats that went Tory, partly because of Brexit. His speech may succeed in winning over red wall. @CER_EU https://t.co/Fqn7wnNbEX
