Daisy Cooper urges Labour to drop Brexit 'red lines' in PMQs

Daisy Cooper MP urges the government to drop its red lines on Europe: "The world has changed. Putin has launched a war on our continent. An unreliable Donald Trump has returned to the White House. And here at home, the cost of living has got worse and worse."

Putin's war, Trump's return and the cost of living crisis. Five years on from the Prime Minister's Brexit red lines, the world has changed. Will the Government finally ditch these outdated red lines and put Britain back at the heart of Europe? @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

It’s time for the government to rip up their red lines on Europe to protect our defence, slash living costs and grow our economy. It’s deeply disappointing that they won’t commit to this.

Daisy Cooper, "Does the Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy agree that the government should rip up those red lines now?" "Or is that just another job to be left to the next prime minister" David Lammy, "Our red lines remain"

Sensible - Ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote next week, Ed Davey will challenge Burnham to scrap Labour’s red lines on the customs union and single market if he becomes prime minister and immediately begin talks on a more ambitious deal with the EU.

In PMQs, Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Cooper urged government to "rip up" its Brexit red lines after her party called on the UK to re-join the single market This month, PolHome's @matildamartin.bsky.social & @zoecrowther.bsky.social revealed that bolder EU policy was part of a Lib Dem strategy reset

If you don't like queuing at EU borders I suggest you find an Irish or EU grandparent. If that's not possible I suggest stop voting for politicians that support #Brexit or talk about Brexit Red lines. #wato #BBCWato #Newsnight

@libdems.org.uk “call for the UK to rejoin the single market, in a notable strengthening of their own position…Labour’s red lines are holding Britain back. They are hurting the British people and they are playing into the hands of Farage and Reform.” 👍👏 #JoinEU www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

PMQs: #DavidLammy used to be a staunch & passionate Remainer but evasive when LibDem Daisy Cooper suggested it was time to rip-up #Starmer's ridiculous 'red lines'. #RejoinEU

↑↑ A diplomatic heavyweight, Ivan Rogers, enters the fray. Pressure is being applied left, right and centre on those crass Labour 'red lines'. They are going to have to go. @darrenpjones.bsky.social

Lammy: we had a successful summit with the EU last year (Brexit reset), and the next summit will take place July 22. Our red lines remain, but we are focussed on an SPS deal, a youth experience scheme, AND cutting red tape. All the things Labour has boasted were already agreed last year. Idiots.

It would be good if the government didn't get fixated on red lines and create Austerity 2.0. Or would it be Austerity 3.0 by then? As I feel we are still in it under the new management.

Keep up the pressure. Labour continuing with any red lines, is nothing but self harm. #BrexitHasFailed #BrexitReality

“Meanwhile Burnham would scrap some of Starmer’s Brexit red lines, and is thought to be considering adding joining a single market with the EU in his first Labour manifesto.” You can’t join ‘a’ single market, only ‘the’ single market. It’s a membership offering 🤦🏻‍♀️

@EdwardJDavey Labour’s red lines on Europe are holding Britain back. Today I will set out our plan for a bold new deal with the EU to fix the damage done by Brexit, tackle the cost of living crisis and keep Britain safe.
