With regard to the comments on the British Labour Party, I heard Mr. Corbyn talk about a customs union. When Mr. Starmer visited Donegal and Derry on Monday, I understood from the commentary attributed to him that he spoke about membership of the customs union. I am not sure whether the commentary was accurate in regard to Mr. Starmer. It seems to be a move in a direction we would favour.
