Burnham Signals Willingness to Reconsider EU Free Movement Ahead of November Summit
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has indicated openness to reviving free movement between the UK and the EU, framing it as part of a broader 'honest discussion' on migration and trade. While he ruled out joining the euro or Schengen, his stance marks a sharp departure from Labour's 2024 manifesto. The move precedes a November 20 summit and has sparked internal party debate and opposition backlash, with Burnham insisting any final decision rests with the British public.
