British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Tuesday that his government might consider rejoining the European Union. He made the announcement at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.
Burnham said that Brexit has caused "more harm than good" and has damaged the UK economy for a decade. He listed several options his government will look at, including joining a customs union, entering the single market, or returning to full EU membership.
However, Labour will not act on these options before the next general election. A UK-EU summit is planned for later in 2026.
