Labour's Brexit Divide Runs Deep The latest developments in the Labour leadership contest have exposed a deepening divide within the party over its stance on Brexit.
Key figures from the Blue Labour movement, once seen as a pro Remain faction, have abandoned Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor who has been touted as a potential leader.
Instead, they're backing home secretary Shabana Mahmood. The Blue Labour movement was founded by Lord Maurice Glasman and aimed to bridge the gap between Labour's traditionalist left and its progressive wing.
