Burnham has said that rejoining the European Union should be considered among the UK’s future options, while describing the current Brexit settlement as having caused “more harm than good”.
The comments were made in an interview with the BBC. They place a possible return to the EU within a wider discussion about the UK’s future relationship with the bloc, rather than presenting it as an immediate policy change.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about the timing or conditions of any potential move, or about the political process that would be required. The latest position set out is that rejoining the EU should remain an option for the UK.
