Wes Streeting and Lisa Nandy when they were in the cabinet together. Lisa Nandy has slapped down Wes Streeting after he said the UK should rejoin the European Union. The former health secretary, who quit the cabinet on Thursday, said Britain needs “a new special relationship with the EU”. The Labour leadership hopeful added: “Britain’s future lies with Europe – and one day back in the European Union.” But on Sky News on Sunday, Wigan MP Nandy described Streeting’s comments as “a bit odd”. “If rejoining the EU is the answer to what we were just told loud and clear by the country and parts of the country like mine, where we lost 25 out of 25 wards, 24 of them to Reform,” the culture secretary said. “If rejoining the EU is the answer, then essentially what we’re saying to people is life was fine in 2015, we just need to go back there. I know Wes is coming up to campaign in the [Makerfield] by-election quite soon. “He will hear loud and clear from …

It’s a trilogy, and this is the end,” Kudrow told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year when she sat for a cover story ahead of the return. That ending was an emotional one, too, as Kudrow said goodbye to …
