Has PM got his pro-Europe mojo back?

NOT often I'll make biblical references. But this past weekend (October 11) reminded me of the parable of the prodigal son - who strayed, lost his way but eventually got a warm homecoming.

Saturday's ‘The Times’ reported 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 £40bn 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.

Hopefully, MPs will be more forthright about Brexit's harm - and Mr Farage’s central role. Too often he’s political Teflon: wielding huge, negative influence - but rarely held accountable for outcomes and consequences of his divisive, toxic campaigning.
