Sadiq Khan: Labour should pledge to rejoin the EU at next election
London mayor Sadiq Khan has called for the UK to rejoin the EU, urging the Labour Party to make this a central pledge at the next general election. He argued that Brexit has caused significant economic, social, and cultural harm, particularly in London, and believes changing global circumstances justify revisiting the decision. Citing rising international instability and shifting political dynamics, Khan described rejoining the EU as 'inevitable' and proposed renewed membership of both the customs union and single market. However, the Government has firmly rejected this approach, maintaining that it will not return to the EU’s core structures or freedom of movement. Instead, leaders are pursuing closer cooperation through trade agreements and regulatory alignment in specific areas. The debate highlights ongoing divisions over the UK’s future relationship with Europe, with economic pressures and geopolitical uncertainty continuing to shape political discussion and long-term national strategy.
- Pray: for unity and discernment in national decisions, guiding leaders toward choices that promote stability and common good. (James 1:5)
