UK PM Burnham Open to Discussing EU Free Movement and Future Relations
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has expressed openness to discussing the restoration of the European Union's freedom of movement rules as part of a broader reset of Britain's relationship with the EU. While acknowledging challenges posed by pre-Brexit migration, he emphasized the need for an honest discussion on immigration changes since Brexit. Burnham ruled out rejoining the EU during the current Parliament but suggested it could happen within his lifetime, stressing that any major changes require public consent. He is set to meet EU leaders on November 20 to discuss cooperation on immigration and other issues.
