Brexit has become a significant area of debate among potential candidates for the UK Labour Party leadership. At a time when Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a tough election process, former minister Wes Streeting argues that Brexit was a big mistake and advocates establishing a new special relationship with the EU. Streeting states that a general election is needed to gain new authority for rejoining the EU but avoids presenting detailed policy proposals. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham takes a more cautious stance on Brexit; while he says rejoining the EU is possible in the long term, he emphasizes respect for the referendum result at present. Former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner focuses on the challenges faced after Brexit and stresses the need to resolve issues in relations with the EU. Keir Starmer is taking steps toward closer relations with the EU, including rejoining the Erasmus+ program and youth mobility agreements. However, he avoids taking a clear position on free movement and customs union issues. How Brexit will play a role in the leadership race and how candidates will position themselves on this matter remains a subject of interest.
