You can use string replacement to remove the characters. And you can use map to apply that to every element of the list.
date = list(map(lambda s: s.replace('\xa0', ''), date))
If you are not comfortable using lambda expressions, you can define a new function.
def replace(text):
return text.replace('\xa0', '')
date = list(map(replace, date))

Why do you need to do all these when you can simply write this `date = [item.find(class_='wr-date__light').get_text().replace('\xa0','') for item in items]` right? – Ch3steR Jan 30 '20 at 20:24

\xa0 is a non breaking space in latin1 so it should be replaced with space – ElmoVanKielmo Jan 30 '20 at 20:26
