Hello, and welcome to another Independent voices roundup.
This week Keir Starmer began the work of "resetting" the UK's relationship with the European Union by travelling to Germany and France to meet with the countries' respective leaders.
Sean O'Grady wrote that the PM's big Brexit "reset" is nothing of the sort – but that it is a good start. Meanwhile our editorial said that Starmer's treaty with Germany is a reason to be optimistic.
John Rentoul argued that Starmer's "doomerism" earlier in the week when talking about the Tories' legacy could come back to bite him, while Andrew Grice laid out the truth of Labour's new Budget. |

Do you think Brexit will be Labour's eventual undoing? |

"We are telling ourselves that the Labour government has a plan to slowly but surely realign us with our European friends, even if it does not include EU membership," reader Robert Boston writes to The Independent. He adds: "If we are wrong then Labour will be consumed by Brexit and suffer a similar fate to the Tories." Do you agree? Read the full letter here. Last week you were split on Stephen Bloom's letter which called for an end to blame culture around benefits, with 52% voting yes. |
