Burnham pledges EU summit to reverse Brexit 'damage' amid Iran security row
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced plans to renegotiate the UK’s post-Brexit trade deal, arguing that the current status quo is insufficient for economic growth and security. Ahead of a bilateral summit with the EU scheduled for 20 November, Burnham stated that the British public would have the final say on any future relationship, including potential re-entry into the single market. The move has sparked fierce debate, with opposition leader Kemi Badenoch accusing the government of unpicking the withdrawal agreement. Simultaneously, Burnham attributed a recent security incident at RAF Fairford to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, warning of further sanctions.
