As I’ve already said here, I’m no fan of Wes #Streeting, but staying out in the political wilderness as a country is harming us financially and in terms of safety. That has to be acknowledged.
I don’t think offering to rejoin the EU is the political gold it should be for Streeting.
But I do think he’s widening the Overton Window.
We will see other parties such as the #Greens, #LibDems and nationalist parties in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland benefit from his kite flying.
