Sadiq Khan urges Labour to rejoin EU customs union and single market

What happened: London Mayor Sadiq Khan called for Labour to commit to rejoining the EU customs union and single market in the next parliament. Meanwhile, Unite union leader Sharon Graham predicted a leadership challenge for Keir Starmer after the May elections.

Why it matters:

  • Rejoining the EU economic frameworks could reshape UK trade policies and relations with Europe.
  • Labour's leadership and electoral performance may influence the party's future direction and strategy.

MNN Take: Khan's stance highlights ongoing debate within Labour about the party's approach to Brexit and EU relations. The leadership challenge reflects internal party tensions following expected election results.
