Could the UK rejoin the EU?

With the idea of rejoining the European Union suddenly back on the agenda after Andy Burnham's selection for the Makerfield by-election and the positioning ahead of potential Labour leadership contest, this week we’re looking at whether 10 years on from the referendum, could Brexit ever be reversed? Would there ever be the political will, the public backing or the practical ability, for Britain to once again be a part of the EU, and would stirring up a maelstrom that seemed finally settled, blow up our politics irreparably?Later in the episode host Alain Tolhurst speaks to Professor Anand Menon, director of the think tank UK in a Changing Europe, along with the former Conservative minister Steve Baker, who now writes the Fighting for a Better Future substack, about how serious the idea of rejoining is.But first the Labour MP Stella Creasy, chair of the Labour Movement for Europe, spoke to Alain about how the party should approach the UK’s future relationship with the EU.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced and edited by Ewan Cameron and Lulu Goad for Podot
