Ten years after Brexit: Prime Minister Burnham campaigns for Britain's return to Europe
With a mix of "hope and honesty", Andy Burnham wants to beat the right-wing populists. At the Labour Party conference, he is announcing a major EU initiative and sensitive social reforms.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has called for a significant change in the country's politics, stating that "politics as usual" is no longer enough to solve Britain's problems. He announced a major overhaul of the British social state and aims to accelerate the UK's return to Europe, criticizing the Brexit decision and its negative impact on the economy.
Burnham plans to present "various options" for closer relationships with the EU at a summit later this year, including a potential customs union or re-entry into the single market. His proposals have received mixed reactions within the Labour Party, but he has support from former Prime Minister Tony Blair and some party members.
