Keir Starmer only Labour leadership candidate refusing to rule out a Rejoin EU campaign
Labour leadership hopeful Keir Starmer

KEIR STARMER is the only Labour leadership candidate who may campaign to rejoin the EU if elected leader, after he failed to rule it out this weekend.

The frontrunner to succeed Jeremy Corbyn refused to be drawn on the question at a Mirror hustings in Dudley in the West Midlands.

When asked if Labour should rule out campaigning to rejoin the EU, he said: “I don’t think it’s a priority for now and the immediate future. It’s for our kids to decide what our future relationship is.”
