The UK left the EU at the end of January this year after Prime Minister Boris Johnson's resounding victory in the 2019 general election. As the country was preparing for a new chapter, Labour MP Ben Bradshaw told German press that the UK will be back. He made the claim just weeks before the UK finally left, signalling that some Remainers hadn't given up the fight. He said in January: Everything is possible. And in politics you should never say never anyway.

Unfortunately, re-entry into the EU is not an issue in the short term.

You just have to take note of the current facts in British politics.

But once the difficult decisions that Brexit brings are on the agenda, the debate will change.

That could eventually lead to full membership again.

Mr Johnson's victory in the 2019 election made Brexit a formality and this led Mr Bradshaw to criticise his former party leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

He blamed Mr Corbyn not just for the election drubbing, but also Brexit.

Mr Bradshaw continued: He is not only responsible for the crashing defeat of the Labour Party in December.

It is also due to Jeremy Corbyn that the 2016 EU referendum was lost.

In the middle of the referendum campaign, he took two weeks off on vacation.

At the time, he was not fully committed to remaining in the EU.

Figures in the Labour Party aren't the only people who think the UK could rejoin the EU one day, as prominent leaders in Brussels have made similar predictions.

Former President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker laid out how he believed the UK could reverse Brexit and rejoin the EU.

He made the provocative claim in 2017 as the UK prepared for withdrawal talks, a year after the country opted to leave the EU. Mr Juncker told reporters that he regretted Britains decision to leave but held out hope that it would return in the future.

He said: I dont like Brexit. I would like to be in the same boat as the British. The day will come when the British re-enter the boat. I hope.

A senior aide later said the option of Britain returning to the EU will always be open and outlined various ways in which it could happen.

They added: There are different ways you can join. You can be a full member, you can be a partner, you can be related to us in the customs union, or through a trade agreement.
