Sir Keir Starmer says a vote on Northern Ireland leaving the UK is 'not even on the horizon'.
A referendum on Irish unification is "not even on the horizon" according to the man who is favourite to be the next UK prime minister.
Sir Keir has also spoken of renegotiating an improved trade deal with the European Union if he wins power, leading to speculation such an arrangement may do away with the need for an Irish Sea border.The post-Brexit trade border, which led to extra checks on goods imported to Northern Ireland from Great Britain, led to the Democratic Unionist Party boycotting the Stormont institutions.
"The wrong thing to do is to simply say there are issues that need resolving. The right thing to do is to get in the room and resolve. He repeated his intention to repeal the controversial Troubles Legacy Bill after his new shadow Northern Ireland spokesman Hilary Benn said a replacement must be found."I do think that we need to look at what the other options are. Of course, I do understand the problem we're trying to confront," Sir Keir said.
