YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“The trick of this campaign is to sound as pro-European as possible, whilst coming out with as few specifics as possible.”

Labour-leadership hopefuls Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham have expressed their desire for Britain to rejoin the EU, but they cannot pursue a “pick-and-choose relationship” with the union, says former EU foreign affairs advisor, Nathalie Tocci.

Nathalie Tocci and Anand Menon were speaking to Rosie Wright and Calum Macdonald on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every day from 6-10am.
