London Mayor Andy Burnham signals he is willing to look at whether the UK should rejoin the European Union. In comments made during his Labour conference speech, he also criticises the post-Brexit political climate and argues that the 2016 referendum outcome has had lasting negative effects.

According to the report, Burnham mocks Brexiteers’ claims about “taking back control,” saying the Brexit vote has led to a “decade of division.” The outlet frames his remarks as a challenge to the central promise associated with the Leave campaign, presenting his position as conditional and focused on reassessing the consequences rather than simply repeating a new slogan.
