Former UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has unveiled a new vision for Britain's relationship with the EU, suggesting the country may reconsider its decision to leave the bloc. In a bold speech at the Labour Party conference, Burnham declared that Brexit has "done more harm than good" and announced that he would set out long-term options for Britain's future ties with the EU at an upcoming EU summit in November.
