Brexit's Ghosts Haunt Labour's Leadership Contest The recent call by Wes Streeting, former health secretary and now Labour leadership contender, to rejoin the EU has reopened old wounds in the party.
His assertion that leaving the EU was a "catastrophic mistake" echoes the sentiments of many who opposed Brexit from the start.
However, his proposal to build a new "special relationship" with the Union raises more questions than answers. Streeting's stance is not surprising given Labour's long standing ambivalence towards Brexit.
