I could be wrong but I read this in a "him being realistic way, not wanting that". I think he wants reunification but looking at the political environment, he was speaking what he saw as the reality.

Some have suggested this reluctance to talk about the issue masked a desire to pursue re-entry to the customs union or single market during a second Labour term, something other senior figures in the party have failed to rule out. Starmer insisted on Wednesday, however, this was not the case.

Asked whether he could see any circumstances where the UK rejoined the single market or customs union within his lifetime, Starmer said: “No. I don’t think that that is going to happen. I’ve been really clear about not rejoining the EU, the single market or the customs union – or [allowing a] return to freedom of movement.”

I could be wrong but I view this as him and the party not wanting to pursue it at all.
