The Brexit referendum has passed nearly ten years ago, and now the issue of Brexit has re-entered the agenda of Labour leader Keir Starmer's government. Currently, the Starmer government is trying to fend off the political threat posed by Nigel Farage. According to sources familiar with the matter who spoke anonymously about internal strategies, officials within the Starmer government have begun privately suggesting that he should break away from his previous cautious stance on Brexit and make a "defining decision of his premiership"—to significantly enhance the relationship between the UK and the EU. The Office for Budget Responsibility in the UK estimates that Brexit has caused a 4% long-term shock to the UK's economic output. Therefore, those advocating for more aggressive policies towards the EU believe that this adjustment would help boost economic growth, which has been clearly stated as a top priority for Starmer's government.
