Neil Kinnock delivered an impassioned appeal to Labour MPs who support closer ties with Europe. He referenced a changing environment and urged his colleagues to boldly pursue enhanced relationships within the European Union, drawing parallels between this endeavor and historical precedents of overcoming misconceptions.
At a gathering for pro-European Labour advocates, Kinnock expressed that embracing change was necessary in light of recent electoral outcomes and successes within the party's movement towards Europe. He emphasized the importance of not losing momentum due to caution but rather continuing with determination.
During the event, attended by Labour MP Stella Creasy among others, Kinnock reiterated that courage leads to fortune, especially in new political landscapes. While Keir Starmer had previously indicated a cautious approach towards revisiting Britain's ties with Europe, Kinnock’s remarks underscored the importance of boldly engaging with European partners.
The German ambassador, Miguel Berger, also addressed attendees, highlighting that collaboration with a government accepting EU human rights standards was progressive and welcomed further advocacy from pro-European Labour MPs.
