Burnham to Urge MPs to Support Drive for Closer EU Relationship
He will argue a closer EU relationship could help curb illegal immigration and lift growth, as ministers seek tweaks to current arrangements.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham will address the Commons, arguing for a new European Union deal to tackle illegal immigration and boost economic growth.
- Burnham stated that Britain must "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good," arguing the status quo constitutes a "dereliction of duty."
- Immigration control was "weakened by Brexit" because the UK "lost collaboration with our European partners," Burnham noted; the "vast majority of the public" would expect acceptance of a secured deal.
- The government intends to initiate a broader conversation about the UK-EU relationship, with a rescheduled summit between the UK and European leaders expected next month.
- Last week, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called it "a terrible idea" to "reopen the Brexit debate," warning that businesses would stall amid uncertainty over repeated negotiations.
