Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister, appears to dismiss any possibility of the UK rejoining the European Union, despite statements made by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who referred to Brexit as a ‘blunder’ that needs rectification.
Reportedly, von der Leyen addressed this matter at a Brussels event on Tuesday night (28/11), indicating that the prospect of the United Kingdom returning to the EU rests with the next generation. “I keep telling my kids: You have to fix this. We messed it up, you have to fix it,” she remarked, labeling Brexit as a “blunder of the past.”
In response, Sunak’s official spokesperson swiftly emphasized that, “according to the British Prime Minister, Brexit is not under threat.” They further elaborated, highlighting the advantages gained from Brexit, focusing on strengthening immigration policies, expediting access to medications for patients, and enhancing the overall quality of life for citizens. The spokesperson added, “We have a prime minister who passionately supported Brexit before taking office, and now our focus is on ensuring its success.”
Although polls reflect a majority of British citizens in favor of rejoining the EU, both the Labour and Conservative parties do not seem inclined to overturn the Brexit agreement.
