JUST NOW! Starmer FURIOUS after being ATTACKED as minister demands huge U-turn

Описание: ‎Right, gather round, because what I'm about to tell you is so spectacularly absurd that even a satirist couldn't have written it better. We've got a Government minister who's managed to contradict not just his colleagues, not just his Chancellor, but himself within the space of 24 hours. And no, he wasn't suffering from amnesia or having an existential crisis. This is just British politics in 2026, where consistency is apparently optional and Cabinet unity is a quaint relic from a bygone era.
‎
‎So picture this scene. You're at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that glamorous alpine gathering where the global elite sip champagne and pretend to solve world poverty. Enter Peter Kyle, Britain's Business and Trade Secretary, who apparently decided that what Labour's Brexit policy really needed was more confusion. In an interview with CNBC, Kyle declared that Britain would be "crazy" not to look at joining a customs union with the EU. He called for a "gentle debate" about the "best opportunities" for Britain's economy post-Brexit. Gentle debate. That's rich, considering Brexit nearly tore this country into two warring factions who couldn't agree on whether tea should be made with milk first or last, never mind our entire economic future.
‎
‎But here's where it gets properly bonkers. Just 24 hours earlier, this very same Peter Kyle had told the Financial Times that pursuing a customs union would be "foolish" and dismissed it as "Lib Dem utopianism." Let me repeat that for those at the back. He called it foolish on Tuesday and crazy not to consider on Wednesday. That's not a policy evolution, that's a complete personality transplant. Either Kyle discovered some groundbreaking economic research overnight, or someone's had a rather stern word with him about keeping his options open. My money's on the latter.
‎
‎Now let's add another layer to this delicious political lasagne of chaos. Just one day before Kyle's Davos declarations, Chancellor Rachel Reeves had explicitly ruled out joining a customs union. The Chancellor. The person who controls the purse strings. The second most powerful person in Government after the Prime Minister. She said no. Kyle then rocks up in Switzerland and says, well, maybe yes actually. If this were a marriage, they'd be in counselling faster than you can say "irreconcilable differences."
‎
‎The thing is, this isn't just ministerial freelancing or colourful debate. This strikes at the very heart of what Labour promised during the election campaign. Sir Keir Starmer set out what he called his "red lines" on Brexit, a set of non-negotiable positions that were supposed to reassure voters that Labour wasn't planning to reverse Brexit through the back door. Those red lines included no return to the single market, no return to free movement, and no customs union. These weren't suggestions or aspirational goals, they were meant to be the bedrock of Labour's Brexit position. Yet here we are, barely months into Government, and ministers are publicly musing about whether those red lines might actually be more of a gentle pink suggestion.
‎
‎Let's talk about what Kyle actually said in Davos, because the details matter. He insisted that joining a customs union would be part of a "longer-term process" and helpfully reminded everyone that it took Turkey 20 years to join the customs union, and Britain four years to leave it. His argument seems to be that because it would take ages anyway, we might as well start the conversation now. That's a bit like saying, "Look, I know we agreed we wouldn't move house, but let me just start looking at property listings because buying a house takes ages anyway." It's technically not breaking your promise immediately, but it's certainly testing the boundaries.
