This is HUGE for labour.
A new Savanta poll shows 67% of people who voted Labour in the last general election want Labour to join the EU customs union.
Will Keir Starmer listen?

It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.
