Labour Brexit civil war erupts as Lisa Nandy launches scathing attack on Wes Streeting's plea to rejoin EU
Lisa Nandy appeared to have opened the door to a Labour civil war on Brexit as she accused Wes Streeting of “fundamental misreading”.
Announcing his intentions to challenge Keir Starmer for the leadership yesterday, the former Health Secretary called for the UK to rejoin the EU.
Recating the speech of GB News, Ms Nandy described her colleague’s stance as “a bit odd” in the wake of their party’s local election drubbing to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
