Upon reflection, losing our freedom of movement has had a fairly big personal impact on me and my family
Yeah, but in no way is Starmer responsible for that. If he came out now in favour of freedom of movement it would actively delay it and make it less likely to happen. in reality this is a 20 year road back to the singlemarket.
I’m trying to ignore what Labour say on stuff like immigration and brexit and focus on the policies which are more positive than their rhetoric in interviews.

Much as I love to take Starmer's side on this stuff because I do understand the logic, this freedom of movement statement has particularly wound me up. Upon reflection, losing our freedom of movement has had a fairly big personal impact on me and my family which explains why its a political position that winds me up even if I do understand the reasoning.
Easy to assign lower priorities to stuff that doesn't personally affect you I suppose. Will try to be mindful of that.
