Burnham: Rejoin EU Debate ‘for Another Day’
Burnham says he wants a new EU deal to boost the British economy as pressure grows to drop Labour’s Brexit red lines.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham declined to rule out including a commitment to rejoin the European Union in Labour's next election manifesto while traveling to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
- Recent polling shows support for rejoining the EU has reached 61 per cent, an all-time high that has prompted internal party discussions about potentially shifting Labour's current Brexit stance.
- Burnham aims to "go to the next level" in EU negotiations while expressing concerns that the "Made in Europe" policy could negatively impact British supply chains ahead of planned discussions.
- Minister for European Relations Hamish Falconer also refused to exclude a rejoin pledge, as the administration considers a youth mobility scheme allowing up to 100,000 young Europeans to live and work in Britain.
- Later this year, the Prime Minister remains focused on an EU-UK summit where officials intend to rebuild bridges and strike practical agreements to boost the British economy.
