Streeting must be really out of touch if he think the rise of Reform is because people want to rejoin the EU. Much as I would love it to be different, that ship has sailed. We need to focus on making this country safe and prosperous and a great place to live as a vibrant independent country. Not fighting old battles that have been lost.

@crimlawuk The rise of Reform is down to the Tories imploding. Johnson encouraged by Cummings cut off the left wing and the right wing left of their own accord mainly because Jenrick lost the leadership contest.
