What happened
Andy Burnham announced he will meet European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels on November 20. Burnham stated the summit aims to restore ties and renegotiate parts of the trade deal agreed after the UK voted to leave the EU. Topics for discussion include easing the movement of food and drink, a youth 'free movement' scheme, and cutting bureaucracy for British food exports. Kemi Badenoch criticized Burnham, arguing he was reopening old divisions while attempting to alter the UK's current deal.
