Streeting’s Rejoin-EU Push Risks Dividing Weakened Labour Party

Wes Streeting used his first public appearance since resigning as UK health secretary last week to make his pitch for a potential leadership bid and called for Britain to rejoin the European Union.

Streeting said that leaving the EU was “a catastrophic mistake,” and that the country’s future lies within Europe and “one day, back in the European Union,” in his first speech since quitting Keir Starmer’s government on May 14.
