Labour's taking on Reform — and it's about time too
The Observer
|August 31, 2025
I am not privy to the innermost thoughts of Nick Thomas-Symonds, the Cabinet Office minister tasked with negotiating the “resetting” of our economic relationship with the European Union, but I can make a reasonable guess.
While he feels he has to repeat the mantra about not rejoining the single market or the customs union, I doubt if in his heart of hearts he subscribes to it.
Last week he warned that British businesses trading with the EU face “more red tape, mountains of paperwork and a bureaucratic burden” if, God forbid, either the Tory party or the misleadingly named Reform party wins the next election and tears up Sir Keir Starmer’s “Brexit reset” deal.
