Top of Labour in row over EU as Nandy challenges Streeting’s remarks
UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy dismissed former cabinet colleague Wes Streeting’s call for Britain to rejoin the EU as “odd”, stating the Brexit debate was settled by the 2016 referendum and the government is focused on pragmatic fixes to the current deal’s harm. Streeting, who resigned from the cabinet over Keir Starmer’s leadership, plans to run in the upcoming Labour leadership contest, while potential candidate Andy Burnham is prioritising domestic issues like utility nationalisation for the Makerfield byelection; allies confirm Starmer intends to enter the race if called.
