Does a Labour leadership race mean another UK Brexit debate? | BBC Newscast

In a speech at which he confirmed he would run to become Labour leader, Wes Streeting has said that he would ‘one day’ like the UK to rejoin the EU.

Greater Manchester Mayor, who also wants to run, Andy Burnham has said similar things in the past, he’d first have to win a by-election in Makerfield – an area that voted to leave.

So, are Labour going to go to war over the issue again? Does it put Burnham in a tricky position? And is it what the public wants?
