Burnham is set to push for new agreements between the UK and the European Union at an EU summit, according to the supplied report. The proposals would seek to develop the UK’s relationship with the bloc following Brexit.
The report does not provide details of the specific areas covered by the proposed agreements, nor does it state when or where the summit will take place. It also does not outline the terms Burnham intends to seek or the response expected from EU representatives.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticised the government’s approach, saying the prime minister was “unpicking” the deal signed between the UK and the EU. Her comments indicate opposition from the Conservatives to the direction of the government’s post-Brexit policy.
The latest position is that Burnham plans to use the EU summit to argue for new post-Brexit arrangements, while Badenoch has challenged the government’s handling of the existing agreement. Further details of the proposals and any response from the EU were not included in the supplied material.
