Tory Euroscepticism isn’t dead yet

Keir Starmer preys on Conservative weak spot with Labour’s crime and policing 'mission'. Tory Euroscepticism suffers setback, but is not dead yet.

  • Rishi Sunak's victories this week have given him the freedom to pursue a less acrimonious relationship with the EU, say allies and Conservative Remainers.
  • Keir Starmer delivered a speech on crime, setting out ambitious targets for the Labour party.
  • Arguments over spending are part of why Labour's childcare policy position never progressed beyond the 'we are really, really going to have a childcare policy soon'.
  • Labour's internal dynamics may change with frontbenchers' 'switch spends' being diverted towards Starmer's big priorities, with crime and policing being one of the biggest.
  • The ERG has suffered a setback, but Tory Euroscepticism is not in retreat.
