London: British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has acknowledged he could go “all the way” and propose rejoining the European Union as he considers the UK’s future relationship with Brussels.
Burnham, who has blamed Brexit for a decade of drift and division, said he would look at the “pros and cons” of all options.
In his first Labour Party conference speech as leader, the prime minister said Brexit had done “more harm than good” and promised to set out the options to the country around the time of a UK-EU summit later this year.
He told the BBC he did not want to leave the issue “hanging” and he wanted to be clear on “where we want Britain to go in the next decade.” Asked whether he wanted the UK to rejoin the bloc, he told the Today programme he wanted to “look at the options.” (dpa)
