flag London Mayor Sadiq Khan urges Labour to pledge EU rejoining in 2029, citing Brexit’s £30B economic loss and job decline.

flag London Mayor Sadiq Khan has urged the Labour Party to pledge rejoining the European Union in the 2029 general election, arguing Brexit has caused lasting economic, social, and cultural harm, including a £30 billion loss to London’s economy, 230,000 fewer jobs, and a decline in EU nationals. flag He called for rejoining the EU’s customs union and single market, citing new research showing the UK economy would have grown 10% more without Brexit. flag While the Labour government maintains it will not rejoin either bloc, Khan’s push reflects growing internal debate, supported by figures like Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who acknowledges Brexit’s economic toll. flag France has signaled openness to UK rejoining the Single Market if the UK aligns with EU rules, marking a shift in European sentiment.
