      Honestly I hope the UK eventually rejoins the EU.

      Brexit was sold as this historic opportunity but for many people it has mostly brought economic problems, political division and years of exhausting arguments. Europe feels stronger when countries cooperate closely on trade, security, science and global challenges instead of cutting themselves off from each other.

      By this point I’ll vote for anyone who will take us back into the EU.

      Oh god. I voted Remain but I’m not sure this is the right thing to do right now given how divided the country already is.

      I’m also not a fan of Starmer either but this could just trigger a merry go round of leaders like we had with the Tories. We need stability in the UK for a decade or so before big decisions.

      I would be in favour in joining in the long term, but I also voted Plaid Cymru who want an independent Wales in the EU. I would currently favour much closer ties but another eu referendum would be too much at the moment.

      That might necessitate repealing much of the anti-LGBT+ legislation that current Labour has put into law.

      Would they have the courage to get that done? Somehow we doubt it.

      I think that having one more state pushing their weight for concessions and a non-federal European agenda is the opposite of what the EU needs. I am sorry I think the UK should stay out of the EU and I think EU citizens should be asked about this.

    6. Considering how many people apparently favour reform I’m not sure how popular rejoining is. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear most people in the UK still don’t think Brexit is a big reason for their problems, and even if they acknowledge it they probably blame the EU.

      10 years rejoining the EU for the government to change one year after and the UK then spends another 5 years exiting it again? No thanks, unless they rejoin with a clause removing the chance to leave in the first 50 years, mandatory Euro adoption and Schengen entry.
      They can join the EEA now, it’s safer and less of a headache for everyone.

      I voted leave & regret that decision we have gone from having a seat at the table to our nose pressed up against the glass looking in

      All these different leaders is no good for anyone, KS is a boring dull man but I think that’s just what we need

      I’m Belgian and I’m not sure if I want the UK to join the EU.. I’d be ecstatic about it but I want the consequences of Brexit to bite long term so that the British populace as a whole understands that their situation was entirely avoidable and it only happened because of Brexit.

      If the UK rejoins (a process which takes ages, obviously), another British right wing loon who wins a future election will be against it and might mess up the negotiation process, or if the UK did rejoin, have it withdraw again. This isn’t a game.

      I know the way I phrased it makes me sound comically evil or something, but the EU needs to be united and strong, frankly, I don’t want to risk more countries that could have a sizeable Eurosceptic population that can veto anything good that the union is proposing or drag us into another crisis moment with a future Brexit. We finally got rid of Hungary for God’s sake.

      I wouldn’t mind Britain rejoining eventually, I’d love not having to get an ETA, but only with guarantees that this charade won’t happen again, and definitely not with the same exemptions as before.

      Farage and his backers just want disorder, the last thing they want is unity. So having Labour internally fighting about reJoining is superb for them. The last thing Farage and his backers want is Starmer diligently going about his business, because it might well result in some progress, a better life for poor people and some national unity. Then an actual ReJoin.

      Putin does not want a successful Europe, he wants fraction.

    11. It has to be full fat EU this time. Take the Euro and no exclusion clauses.

    12. Jenson2025 on

      As someone who voted Remain and has never regretted doing so, we need to move on.

      And frankly this is a move that is likely to turn even more people away from Labour and towards Reform because a lot of people (regardless of how they voted) also want to move on from this

    13. tyger2020 on

      Catchy but this guy is awful.

      His views on the NHS are abhorrent, especially for a LABOUR MP.

    14. Love-That-Danhausen on

      I 100% agree but think Streeting is just saying this because he knows everyone on the left is skeptical of him and see him as worse than Starmer. It may be his actual view but comes across like any other Streeting sound bite: a tactical move not a conviction.

    15. sauvignonblanc__ on

      **keep them out**

      We don’t want another 50-year psychodrama if they return.

    16. Voodoocookie on

      I don’t know if UK do so as a member without special status like implementing the Euro instead of pound. They would want the same status and benefits as before they quit. And I don’t think that would work.

    17. lambaroo on

      i get the impression wes streeting represents wes streeting’s ambition and nothing else.

    18. Muted_Brother_6273 on

      Wes fucking Who? Yet another career politician willing to add yet more instability to the country for a chance at the top job. Not like there are two wars going on or anything.

      Also, in principle yes but trying to rejoin the EU would almost guarantee a Farage led reform government for at least a decade.

    19. Unless it could return on the same terms, then it wouldn’t be worth it for the UK. Especially not as a nation that will again be a net contributor.

      Finally someone is saying it.

      Just a shame it’s Mr potatohead.

    21. Front-Possibility316 on

      I am a huge remainer, I think brexit was a totally avoidable catastrophe and has harmed the UK immensely.

      I also think that the UK’s natural position in Europe may not be in the centre of the EU. We risk coming back in only to repeat our mistakes and destabilise solidarity within the EU. I think everyone is warming to the idea of a Swiss or EEA arrangement. If we spend some time on the fringes and the desire and consensus for closer integration continues to grow then we should rejoin as a full member with few opt outs on major issues like Schengen. 

    22. Any-Original-6113 on

      His words are fine, but this politician isn’t credible. He looks like a poor choice for the next leader of the Labour Party.

    23. More populist idealistic bs, saying what people want to hear. The best think about Starmer is he was realistic about what he could achieve. People didn’t like it as he promised too little compared to others.

    24. Pikapoka1134 on

      Sod this guy. I’m all for rejoining the EU but not under him
