Wes Streeting has confirmed he will stand in any Labour leadership race to replace Sir Keir Starmer - and said the UK should seek to rejoin the European Union.

I have not heard much about this, but it seems like having someone else besides Keir Starmer would be better for the country. What do most people in England think about this, @Smithy ?

I enjoyed watching the march in London today. So great to see the Union Jack and flags from Ireland, Scotland, Wales standing together. I Hate the idea of 'grooming' young girls without consequences. It is NOT grooming. It is R*pe. And the thought of Islam taking over the countries.
