- On Thursday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham will meet European leaders in Dublin before finalizing a Brexit 'reset' deal in Brussels next week, including agreements on agriculture, emissions trading, and a 'youth experience scheme' worth 0.4% GDP growth.
- Former Prime Minister David Cameron advised Burnham against starting a 'decade-long debate' over rejoining the European Union, warning that reopening this 'painful argument' could damage chances for a strong partnership deal with EU leaders.

- Burnham intends to use the summit to 'set up a serious dialogue' regarding long-term UK-EU ties, though former EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier recently warned there will be 'no cherry picking' on market access.
- While the Prime Minister insisted voters would be 'the boss' of any future changes, Cameron emphasized he remains 'a believer in democracy' and advised the UK should continue outside the EU while being its 'best friend.
