Story summary

Andy Burnham, the newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has opened the door to reversing Brexit by potentially including a bid to rejoin the European Union (EU) in Labour’s next manifesto. Speaking ahead of his first meeting with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, on Tuesday during the UN General Assembly in New York City, Burnham stated that while he is not ruling out such an option, it is a matter for “another day.” He emphasized his immediate priority as rebuilding bridges and securing closer trading ties with EU nations. Some Labour MPs are pushing Burnham to change course due to potential economic benefits from rejoining the EU, despite Makerfield voting to leave in 2016. However, Burnham remains committed to Keir Starmer’s Brexit red lines for now.
