Scottish Labour by-election candidate not 'against' reversing Brexit if public mood changes
Scottish Labour’s candidate in a pivotal Westminster by-election has said he would not be against the UK rejoining the EU.
“Yes, and I think that's the natural point that we are at already. Even the Conservatives have reluctantly accepted that that's the only way forward. So absolutely, we must have a closer relationship. In so many ways, it just makes logical sense.” He added: “But I do think even that conversation becomes just such a distraction from actually making what we've got work just now.”
He was also asked if he would raise the issue of the cap with Starmer when he next visits the constituency: “I'm sure we will talk about it.” I kind of changed my view a bit in the last few months. My gran went through end-of life-care in the last few months and passed away, and it was quite a horrible thing to see. And she had virtually no quality of life at all. So I think it's a changing position.
The candidate said: “There's elements that we have taken a different approach in Scotland to the rest of the UK. I'll continue to push my colleagues on some of those things.
