Starmer declines to say if he wants UK to rejoin EU in his lifetime amid internal Labour pressure

Summary
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has refused to state whether he wants Britain to rejoin the EU in his lifetime, amid growing pressure from within his own party for closer ties with the bloc. When asked at the G7 Summit, Starmer deflected by saying the country should not "look backwards to Brexit." This follows comments from Andy Burnham, a potential Labour leadership challenger, who expressed hope of seeing Britain rejoin the EU during his lifetime. The debate has been further reignited by leadership rival Wes Streeting also calling for rejoining the bloc.
