Labour's approach to Reform UK must be robust

I t's not often I'll make biblical references. But something recently reminded me of the parable of the prodigal son - who strayed, lost his way but eventually got a warm homecoming.

A report in The Times newspaper on October 11 stated that Labour will target Nigel Farage and Brexit as causes for upcoming tax rises.

Hopefully, Sir Keir Starmer has rediscovered his 'Remainer' roots. Brexit has cut productivity, trade, and investment - leading to economic damage and an estimated £40 billion loss in annual tax revenues.

So, a more robust approach to Reform UK and the harm caused by quitting the European Union is due.

Especially if Labour's going to be unequivocal in any renewed promises to use the rest of this Parliament to turn our country's fortunes around.
