Burnham to tell parliament UK needs to consider new deal with EU
- On Monday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham told MPs it would be a "dereliction of duty" not to seek a closer relationship with the European Union, arguing a new deal could boost growth and control immigration.
- Burnham argued the post-Brexit status quo has "done more harm than good," contending current trade arrangements are "not good enough for Britain" and weakened immigration control through lost European collaboration.
- The upcoming Brussels summit on November 20 "presents an opportunity to make progress on two crucial issues: boosting UK growth and controlling illegal immigration," Burnham said, with negotiations covering food exports, emissions trading, and a youth scheme.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed the proposal as "a terrible idea," warning Burnham had "just blurted out everything he wants" and that the EU's "tough negotiators" would exploit his early concessions.
- Burnham confirmed on Sunday he was told Russian actors interfered in the 2016 referendum, arguing foreign meddling highlights the importance of strengthening security links with European neighbors to defend democratic institutions.
