Davey: Starmer can't fix cost of living crisis without dropping red lines on Europe
11 May 2026
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to Keir Starmer’s ‘fresh direction’ speech, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey, said:
“Voters sent Keir Starmer a clear message that Britain needs a bold new direction, but he keeps delivering the same old speech.
“If the Government wants to regain the trust of the British people, they have to end the cost of living crisis. There is no way of doing that without getting rid of Keir Starmer’s red lines on Europe and fixing the botched Brexit deal, including a customs union. It’s really that simple.”
