Should Andy Burnham negotiate a new EU deal? Have your say - AOL

Andy Burnham faces backlash after signaling plans to align Britain more closely with Brussels, raising fears he is “unpicking” Brexit. In a statement to MPs, he said he will push for a sweep of new deals at a high-stakes summit next month covering youth mobility, food and drink, energy trading and border security. Burnham argued a deal to reduce border red tape could add up to £10 billion a year to the economy by 2040 and ease supermarket price pressures, citing delays for British produce, including Scottish salmon exports facing a 100% document-check rate costing £100 million annually. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized him for weakening the Brexit deal agreed a decade ago, while Liberal Democrat Ed Davey urged dropping red lines.
