SIR Keir Starmer was branded “clueless” last night after he refused to say what he would do in the crunch Brexit talks.
The Labour boss has slammed Boris Johnson for clashing with Brussels — and brazenly swiped the PM’s mantra calling for No10 to “get Brexit done”.
But he was left tongue-tied when asked if he would stand up to the EU over fishing and state aid — the two obstacles to getting a deal.
And he refused to say if he would choose to delay Brexit rather than leave with no trade deal on New Year’s Eve.Quizzed on the sticking points, Sir Keir said: “I think those two issues are capable of resolution.
“The Government should get on with negotiating instead of introducing legislation to breach the agreement it’s already signed.”
Asked to choose between no trade deal and a delay to Brexit, he dodged the question.
He said: “The Government is reopening old wounds and it should negotiate and get a deal that’s in the national interest.”
Sir Keir also refused to say if No10 should block a second Scottish independence referendum and he failed to rule out slapping Brits with a wealth tax.
Tory MP Gareth Bacon said: “Sir Keir Starmer remains tongue-tied and clueless on the big issues facing the country.”
Tory chairwoman Amanda Milling added: “Sir Keir has shown he’d be incapable of taking the tough decisions to get our country through coronavirus.”
