Burnham to tell parliament UK needs to consider new deal with EU
- On Monday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham will tell Parliament that Britain must pursue a closer relationship with the European Union, arguing a new post-Brexit deal could boost economic growth and improve immigration control.
- Burnham claims the status quo is 'not good enough for Britain,' arguing Brexit has 'done more harm than good' and that failing to negotiate a new deal is a 'dereliction of duty.'
- The Prime Minister told the Labour Party conference that immigration control was 'weakened by Brexit' because the United Kingdom 'lost collaboration with our European partners' and must restore security ties.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed the proposal as 'a terrible idea,' warning that reopening the Brexit debate would cause significant economic uncertainty and businesses would hesitate to invest.
- With a UK-EU summit scheduled for next month in Brussels, Burnham plans to explore long-term relationship options, which he previously suggested could include a future in-out referendum on EU membership.
