UK Labour candidates favour reversing Brexit, but full rejoin unlikely soon (euobserver.com)

• Two Labour leadership candidates want UK to rejoin EU
• Starmer government offered single market membership, EU declined
• Rejoin expected to be gradual through sector deals
• UK already pays for Horizon, Erasmus; defense cooperation next
• Political hurdles include euro membership reluctance and budget rebate loss

"Two leading Labour candidates to succeed Keir Starmer, Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham, describe Brexit as a mistake and advocate rejoining the EU. Starmer's government has offered to join the single market but was rebuffed by EU. Full rejoin likely to be a gradual process through sectoral agreements rather than a single event, with political challenges including UK domestic opinion and EU reluctance."
