Andy Burnham says UK could go 'all the way' towards rejoining EU

Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the BBC that rejoining the EU could be among the options the UK government examines. Speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme after delivering his first Labour conference speech as prime minister on Tuesday, Burnham said he would try to build “consensus” on the country’s long-term direction. He said leaders must look at what is “doable” and weigh the pros and cons of each approach. When asked what options might include, Burnham pointed to the possibility of staying as the UK is now, saying it is “definitely an option” if people believe it is the right place to be.
