4 d. ago A new deal with the EU is exactly what Britain needs. Here’s how Labour will achieve it | Nick Thomas

This isn’t about politics – it’s about pragmatism.

The benefits it could unlock are clear – reducing barriers to trade, driving economic growth and keeping us safe in an increasingly dangerous world. It is the sensible, pragmatic thing to do.

The trend is especially strong with young men, with 21% aged 18 to 24 saying they attend church at least once a month, compared with 12% of young wom...
