Burnham to tell parliament UK needs to consider new deal with EU
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham told MPs on Monday that failing to pursue a closer relationship with the European Union would be a "dereliction of duty," arguing a new deal is essential to control illegal immigration and boost economic growth.
- Scheduled for November 20 in Brussels, the upcoming summit aims to address trade and immigration, with Burnham insisting the status quo is "not good enough for Britain" after Brexit did "more harm than good."
- Negotiators will discuss a food and drink trade deal, an emissions trading pact, and a "new youth experience scheme," with the Prime Minister estimating these agreements could provide an annual boost of over £10 billion to the economy.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed the proposal as "a terrible idea," warning that Burnham had already "shown his hand" to "tough negotiators" who will resist concessions.
- Burnham also addressed Russian interference in the 2016 referendum, emphasizing the need for a "serious dialogue" about long-term relations while insisting the British public will remain "the boss" at every stage of renegotiating the relationship.
