What happened
Andy Burnham is leading a UK-EU summit in Brussels on November 20 to push for new post-Brexit agreements. Burnham stated that the status quo is insufficient for Britain and aims for a closer economic relationship with the bloc. Discussions will focus on food and drink trade, emissions trading, and a youth mobility scheme.
Why it matters
Burnham argues that closer cooperation could boost economic growth, potentially adding over £10 billion a year to the UK economy by 2040. The talks also address industry concerns regarding potential protectionist trade rules from the EU that could affect UK manufacturers.
