Two years ago, David Miliband flew in from New York to warn Britain not to leave the EU. To his surprise and disappointment, the country failed to heed his advice. Graciously, however, Mr Miliband has decided to give it another chance. Today he flew in from New York to tell it that, if it will insist on leaving the EU, it should at least stay in the single market.
Coming from Mr Miliband, this was an intriguing argument, given that during the referendum campaign he’d warned voters that “quitting the EU means quitting the single market”. Today, however, he told them to ignore “the mantra that leaving the EU must mean leaving the single market”. Well, I suppose it will be easier for them to ignore... Telegraph.
