Sadiq Khan urges Labour to campaign on rejoining EU at next election

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is urging the Labour Party to include a commitment to rejoin the European Union in their manifesto for the next general election. He argues that changed circumstances, including economic instability caused by Donald Trump and the war between America and Israel in Iran, alongside the demonstrated damage of Brexit, necessitate a shift in policy. Khan cites research indicating Brexit has negatively impacted the UK economy. His position goes further than the current Labour government's policy, which focuses on improving relations with the EU without seeking full membership. Chancellor Rachel Reeves acknowledged Brexit's negative impact on GDP and prices, advocating for closer alignment with EU rules to boost trade, but not a reversal of Brexit.
