| December 16, 2025 News release Labour’s Ukraine stance exposes muddled approach to Europe, Rejoin EU Party says Labour’s support for Ukrainian EU membership exposes a major inconsistency in its own policy towards Europe, the Rejoin EU Party says. Together with other European leaders such as Friederich Merz and Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister has put forward several proposals for ending in a just and sustainable manner the war in Ukraine, including “strong support for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.” Nothing could better illustrate the incoherence of Starmer’s European policy. He has been increasingly vocal in recent weeks about the damage done to the British economy by Brexit; and now he recognises, rightly, that Ukrainian membership of the EU would be a major contribution to European peace and stability. But he rejects any serious discussion of British re-entry into the EU or its main constituent institutions, a rejection in which he has the wholehearted support of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Rejoin EU Party chairman Brendan Donnelly said: “I suspect Starmer has now lost track entirely of the self-contradictions and anomalies arising from his dysfunctional policy towards the EU. “But this is a particularly flagrant example of double-think. It begs the question as to why, if he so strongly endorses Ukrainian EU membership, he doesn’t similarly support it for the UK. Sauce for the Ukrainian goose should be sauce for the British gander.” Find out more by visiting our website at www.therejoineuparty.com and following us on Twitter at @rejoinp and at https://www.facebook.com/RejoinEUParty The Rejoin EU Party is campaigning to re-join the EU because we believe re-joining is the only way to solve the multiple problems Brexit has created. Brexit is broken and it’s breaking our country too. All the promises on which Brexit was sold to the electorate in 2016 were nonsense. Far from reducing red tape and providing £350m a week for the NHS, Brexit makes trading with the crucial European market more complex, difficult and expensive and threatens to reduce funding for public services. If you agree Brexit is making our country poorer, less tolerant and less united, join us and send a message to Westminster that you want your EU membership back, with all its freedoms and benefits. |
