What happened
Andy Burnham stated that Brexit has failed and advocated for a closer relationship with the European Union, including the possibility of rejoining the 27-nation bloc. Burnham argued that a stronger European relationship would boost British economic growth and improve control over migration. He noted that leaving the EU weakened Britain’s ability to manage unauthorized migration due to the loss of access to key European databases and cooperation agreements.

Why it matters
The call for closer ties directly challenges the current post-Brexit trade arrangement, which created new barriers between British businesses and the EU’s 450 million consumers. Burnham suggests that a stronger European relationship could provide better economic stability and migration management for the UK.
