Streeting: UK should re-join EU

 Former British Health Secretary and possible rival to Prime Minister Keir Starmer for the leadership of the Labour Party, Wes Streeting, stated on Saturday that Britain should re-join the European Union (EU).

Speaking at a conference of the Labour-affiliated group Progress, Streeting noted that "We need a new special relationship with the EU, because Britain’s future lies with Europe - and one day back in the European Union," arguing that the 2016 exit from the bloc was a "catastrophic mistake."

"In 2026, the British people increasingly see that in a dangerous world, we must club together, both to rebuild our economy and trade, and improve our defense against the shared threats from Russian aggression and the retreat of America First," he said.
