Brexit is now more under threat than ever – Rejoiners are rubbing their hands with glee
Sir Keir Starmer has pledged not to rejoin the EU - but there's a strong reason why many aren't entirely convinced by his words.
The first general election held in the UK following Brexit may have rekindled Rejoiners' hope to see Britain returning into the EU fold.
Labour Party leader - and new Prime Minister - Sir Keir Starmer has promised voters to leave the deal struck with the European Union largely intact and to "make Brexit work".
Earlier this week, the Labour leader made his strongest pledge yet on Brexit, saying the UK won't rejoin either the EU, the single market or the customs union within his lifetime.
However, many don't trust Sir Keir's pledge, as he previously campaigned for a second referendum hoping to reverse the result of the Brexit vote.
Ahead of the 2019 general election, the Labour Party then led by Jeremy Corbyn campaigned with the promise to renegotiate the EU withdrawal agreement and put their own Brexit plan to a fresh public vote.

The 2024 general election has seen the Liberal Democrats and the Greens gaining a near-historic number of seats. As both these parties campaigned in 2017 for a second Brexit referendum, they could push the new Labour majority to rekindle Britain's relationship with Brussels.
Forces that at the height of the Brexit debate were perceived as against the withdrawal of the EU - the Labour Party, Lib Dems, SNP and Greens - will hold nearly 500 seats in Parliament over the next five years.
Conversely, the bulk of the pro-Brexit forces in Parliament will now consist mainly of the Tory and Reform UK MPs elected - just over 120.

The four elected Reform UK MPs, including Nigel Farage who won in Clacton-on-Sea, will surely voice their opposition against any Rejoin argument.
But the staunch Eurosceptic camp has lost several advocates with this election, including Michael Gove - who stood down - and Steve Baker, who lost in his constituency, Wycombe, to Labour's Emma Reynolds.
