Sadiq Khan Demands Burnham Launches Immediate Push to Rejoin EU
- On Sunday, London Mayor Sadiq Khan urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to begin "heavy lifting" on EU return, telling the i Paper that work must start immediately to prepare Britain for rejoining the bloc.
- Describing Brexit as "the biggest act of economic self-harm in the UK's history," Khan maintains that geography and trade make the case for rejoining the European Union both self-evident and economically urgent.
- Labour's next manifesto should use "unambiguous language" committing to rejoin, Khan argued, proposing a "form of associate membership" and stating an election victory would provide the necessary mandate without a second referendum.
- Acknowledging political risks, Khan warned that Conservatives and Reform could seize on any rejoin attempt to accuse Labour of "betraying working-class voters" who previously backed Brexit.
- Recent polling shows support for rejoining is at its highest point since the 2016 referendum, while Sir Tony Blair recently called for a "new approach" to post-Brexit ties and committing to rejoin within 10 years.
