Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock says Britain should rejoin the European Union, arguing it is “the patriotic thing to do.” In comments reported by The Independent, Kinnock also warns that an incoming prime minister should not be “constrained” by Labour’s Brexit “red lines.” The reports describe his position as part of a broader pro-European push, with references to pro-EU rallies and marchers calling for a return to the bloc. Other items in the same news cluster frame Brexit as a continuing negative development and note public demonstrations in favour of EU membership, including events in Swindon and other locations. The coverage ties Kinnock’s remarks to political debate over how future UK leadership approaches Brexit policy, including whether party positions should limit negotiations or policy choices. Overall, the articles agree that Kinnock is advocating EU re-entry and that he links his stance to national values, while also criticizing adherence to restrictive party negotiating positions. The reports do not provide new official EU or UK policy announcements, focusing instead on Kinnock’s statements and public reaction.
