UK Labour contender backs eventual EU return for Britain

Wes Streeting, a leading candidate to replace Keir Starmer as UK Labour leader, has suggested that Britain "will one day" rejoin the European Union. The former health secretary's comments resurrect a contentious issue long avoided by mainstream Labour figures. Streeting confirmed his candidacy for the party leadership in an interview with El País. His remarks signal a potential shift in Labour's positioning on Brexit, historically a divisive topic within the party and across British society. The statement comes as the party prepares for an internal leadership election following recent political developments.
