In the face of Trump’s threats, Britain’s best path is clearer than ever: hurry back to Europe | Stella Creasy
www.theguardian.com
Labour must urgently seek new roles and alliances, while also enhancing the UK’s own military capabilities, says Stella Creasy, MP and chair of the Labour Movement for Europe

Regarding defence:

The conclusion is inescapable: now is the time for the UK to reinforce, not wreck Europe’s security relationships, both through the European pillar of Nato and through cooperation with the EU. That means developing its own military capabilities as the US pulls back, as well as exploring a UK role in potential decision-making bodies such as a European security council.

Regarding the economy:

Labour should be open to renegotiating all barriers to cooperation – including integration with the single market in a Swiss-style deal.

Thoughts?

    Oh I’m well aware of that, but I think that people who have a positive emotional response to keeping the pound will also have a positive emotional response to seeing two prices next to one another and the one in pounds being lower.
