Just when you thought the Labour Party had laminated its Brexit stance, along comes David Lammy—Deputy Prime Minister by title, freelance policymaker by vibes—declaring that rejoining the customs union would boost growth. This, mere days after Keir Starmer publicly insisted there would be no such move under his leadership. So, who’s running the government? Apparently, it’s whoever’s holding the mic that day.

🧭 The Brexit Sat-Nav Is Malfunctioning (And Everyone’s Arguing Over It)

Imagine buying a sat-nav, programming it to take you to “Economic Stability,” and it suddenly says, “Make a U-turn—unless Keir’s watching.” That’s what the Labour Party’s Brexit messaging feels like right now. One day, we’re out of the customs union for good. The next, David Lammy’s on stage like a B-side Chancellor, hinting that, hey, maybe we should sneak back in for a cheeky little growth spurt.

This isn’t strategy—it’s policy cosplay. Starmer wants to look serious. Lammy wants to sound clever. And voters? They’re stuck deciphering whether Labour’s post-Brexit plan is a manifesto or a Mad Libs game.

It’s one thing to have internal debate. It’s another to let your senior ministers start freelance broadcasting fantasy policies that contradict your official position. It’s like a restaurant where the waiter takes your order, and the chef brings you soup because he thinks it’s “better for digestion.”

So, let’s recap:

• Starmer: “No rejoining the customs union.”
• Lammy: “Rejoining the customs union = economic growth.”
• Public: “…Are you two even talking to each other?”

This isn’t just a messaging slip. It’s a trust fracture. Because if Labour can’t agree on the basics of trade, how do we believe they’ll hold the wheel when the economy hits the next pothole?

Confused yet? You should be. Why is Lammy out here floating policy like he’s auditioning for Chancellor while Starmer’s busy pretending he didn’t hear it?
