As if the prospect of a Labour leadership contest wasn’t enough to grip Westminster, the past few days have brought back one of SW1’s favourite pastimes – arguing about Brexit.
Wes Streeting, who was previously committed to the Government’s pledge not to rejoin the EU, has said he now wants to do so.
Andy Burnham, who previously wanted to sign back up to the bloc, now says he would prefer not to.
Sir Keir Starmer, who is clinging on to power in No 10, is now considering throwing red meat to Green Party voters (if they eat it) by pledging to abandon his “red lines” on the single market and customs union.
The Telegraph can reveal that Starmer’s staff have been canvassing views among senior Labour figures about a new pledge to rejoin the EU.
The reaction has not been universally positive. One source familiar with discussions said it would be a “catastrophe”, while Lord Blunkett, a former Cabinet minister, writes in a Telegraph article that it would be “suicidal”.
For Burnham, all this talk is deeply damaging to his prospects of winning next month’s by-election in Makerfield – which voted, by a large majority, to leave the EU.

Yesterday, the Greater Manchester mayor said he hoped not to “re-run” the arguments of the referendum during his campaign. He looks unlikely to get his wish.

Labour has promised to create a new NHS “virtual hospital” to slash waiting lists.
However, health experts warn that while the system may appeal to doctors able to conduct appointments from their homes, the reliance on remote consultations risks cancers and other serious illnesses slipping through the net.
The plans for an Online NHS Trust, announced last year by Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, also risk creating a two-tier health system in which elderly and less digitally savvy patients lose out on access to doctors.
The service is due to begin taking patients in October, and officials say some 8.5m appointments will be delivered by this virtual hospital in its first three years.

The US is demanding a veto over any Chinese investment in Greenland – the latest attempt by American negotiators to deliver Donald Trump’s demands to take over the Arctic island. Diplomatic sources have told The Telegraph that this is because the US wants to prevent Beijing from securing any rare earths and minerals buried deep beneath the territory. Why is this a concern? Washington doesn’t suddenly want to lose access to these materials, used to make missiles and fighter jets, should it find itself at war with China. Continue reading ➤ |

A swarm of Ukrainian drones ripped into Moscow’s outskirts over the weekend, lighting up the dawn sky with fireballs. However, Russians tuning into TV broadcasts or scrolling Telegram saw none of that. That was thanks to Vladimir Putin’s new law prohibiting the broadcast of footage of Ukrainian drone strikes that has not been approved by the authorities – the latest sign of Moscow’s information crackdown.

When I was 18, a DNA test result altered my family structure as I knew it, writes Issy Nelson. A 34-year-old long-lost brother was revealed. My parents knew, but my sister and I had been kept in the dark. The journey to having a relationship with Jamie wasn’t straightforward – but now I couldn’t imagine life without him.

Since Sir Tony Blair was photographed jogging a mile for Sport Relief, the strategic jog has become a cliche of modern politics, a way to signal to the electorate that you are fit, energetic and on manoeuvres. It was no coincidence that Andy Burnham was photographed running out of his house in an Everton shirt, just as he announced that he would seek a seat in the Commons, last week. Where does Burnham’s effort sit in the history of this curious phenomenon? Ed Cumming investigates. Continue reading ➤ |

Having grown up with the Spice Girls, it felt somewhat surreal to spend an hour with Sporty – or Melanie C, as she’s always preferred to be called – while she glammed up for her cover shoot one sunny morning in north London, writes Eleanor Halls. The trademark tracksuit had been swapped for a sheer dress and heels, and she was a different woman from the slightly awkward, shy figure of 1997’s Spice World – confident, calm and entirely down to earth. I got the sense that she’s someone who wakes up every morning feeling lucky. As she told me: “I’m an ordinary girl who got to do extraordinary things.” Read the full interview here ➤ |

When we talk about looking after our livers, most people’s thoughts turn to their evening glass or two of wine and whether they should cut back. However, in the UK, cases of liver disease that are entirely unrelated to alcohol have increased by 143 per cent in three decades. Here, Dr Gareth Morris-Stiff reveals the modern lifestyle factors behind the rise in fatty livers – and how you can lower their impact.

Questor, The Telegraph’s investing column, takes a weekly view of the markets – what is moving them, what lies ahead and how all of this could affect your portfolios and financial goals.

A senior Wall Street market strategist has caught the attention of Questor, after he declared he had found “the biggest trade of the next five years” – and it’s not AI.
It’s not even the US, which has spent so long as an investor’s favourite market that it gave birth to an entire theory of “US exceptionalism”.
If not the transformative power of AI, nor the world’s largest economy, what could possibly be the next big thing for investors to consider?
Well, it’s not just one thing – it’s 19 of them.
Don’t panic! They’re helpfully available in a single basket, and you already know each of them extremely well. In fact, odds are you engage with at least a handful of these things every single day of your life.
Read the latest Questor here to learn why the future is more tangible than you think.

In-flight foiblesEvery weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal reader correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
As the father of a toddler, I have come to accept that, on any given form of public transport, I will automatically be among the most unpopular passengers. Nothing to be done about it. There’s something almost liberating about this. Parenthood changes you in many ways, but I hadn't expected to find myself feeling a certain kinship with Millwall fans, who are fond of chanting: “No one likes us, we don’t care.”
Still, at least I can honestly say that I’ve never been guilty of the fine-worthy offences listed by Chris Leadbeater in his article about the aggravations of air travel. (Oh, all right, perhaps I am a bit of an in-the-aisle bag faffer.) The piece has struck a chord, and readers have responded with their own pet peeves. Paul Biddick decried “passengers who stand up as soon as the seat belt sign goes off and remain standing. Bonus points if you are in an aisle seat and they’ve got a centre or window seat”.
For another reader, the cardinal in-flight sins were “taking off shoes and/or socks, taking on so much hand luggage that others can’t stow a reasonable amount, and stowing your hand luggage above seats that are not your own”.
Christine Hinchcliffe recalled: “We once sat next to a man on the way to Los Angeles who had pulled the blind down and was fast asleep before we even took off. We sat in semi-darkness and missed the view during take-off. Fortunately, the flight wasn’t full, so I was able to move and share a three-seater area with a very pleasant Italian nun.”
For another, “short-haul flights should never have reclining seats. I can see the point on long haul or night-time flights, but at any other time it’s just bad manners to recline the seat without asking the person sitting behind whether it’s OK”.
What’s your definition of a nightmare flyer? Send your responses here and the best of the bunch will feature in a future edition of this newsletter.
