Vereinigtes Königreich: Labour-Krise bringt Brexit-Debatte zurück

Die britische Labour-Partei steckt in einer Führungskrise. Zwar hat noch kein parteiinterner Konkurrent Premier Starmer offiziell herausgefordert. Doch einer hat nun ein altes Thema neu auf die Agenda gehoben: die EU-Mitgliedschaft.

Which brings us back to is #Streeting just saying anything to put distance between himself and #Starmer because politically they inhabit very similar Blue Labour terrain?

I fundamentally think the battle of our lives is on right now to prevent #Reform being in office in 3 years time.

Ultimately what defines people as being anti Reform? Being a Remainer.

The Left is still dangerously fragmented, it needs to coalesce around a clear story: Brexit increased inequality - rejoin EU.

The best argument I’ve heard for #Streeting proposing to rejoin the EU is that he’s still hoping to fight a leadership contest without #Burnham in it.

#Makerfield was a Leave voting constituency that is overwhelmingly white with more elderly voters than nearby. It’s far from certain that Burnham can win here against #Reform.

But 80% of #Labour membership are Remainers. That is who Streeting is really appealing to in a Burnham free leadership contest.

#Starmer and #Streeting flying rejoin-EU kites as Andy #Burnham prepares to fight a pro-#Brexit #Makerfield constituency 😅🤣 #Torygraph https://archive.is/5zHnu

It's heartwarming to watch the rats of the so-called "#LabourParty" fighting among themselves 😈

As I’ve already said here, I’m no fan of Wes #Streeting, but staying out in the political wilderness as a country is harming us financially and in terms of safety. That has to be acknowledged.

I don’t think offering to rejoin the EU is the political gold it should be for Streeting.

But I do think he’s widening the Overton Window.

We will see other parties such as the #Greens, #LibDems and nationalist parties in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland benefit from his kite flying.

I wonder if this is the first in a series of #theCitizens profiles on the #Labour leadership challengers?

Also, "Foxglove is urging you to email your MP and demand #Palantir is kept well away from the Single Patient Record"

Wes Streeting, Palantir and the corporate capture of the NHS

As Health Secretary, Streeting handed our data to Palantir, deepened privatisation of our NHS and was a close ally of Peter Mandelson. Is this the blueprint for Labour’s future?

Right, I will say this first, get it out of the way...I have no skin in the game that is the Labour leadership election drama - whomever is PM will send NI a has been or a nobody. But watching it from this side of the Irish Sea -

#Streeting dares to say what many in the UK are thinking about the disaster that is #Brexit & rejoining might be an idea.

#Nandy is on the propaganda outlet that is Laura's BBC show yesterday and says his comments are 'odd'

Then the great new but really old hope

I don't often agree with #Streeting any more but on this he is RIGHT. Brexiteer #Nandy should wind her neck in. #GreenParty must seek agreement from #Burnham that #RejoinEU back on the agenda.

I'm starting to think that Streeting said the UK should rejoin the EU and that he'd campaign for Burnham in order to make sure he lost the by election.
