Andy Burnham says he is open to considering a change in the UK’s post-Brexit relationship with the EU, including the possibility of rejoining. He refers to “looking at the options” and suggests that reversing Brexit is among the choices being kept under review.
Both outlets report that Burnham frames the discussion as something to be assessed in the run-up to a summit later this year, when the UK’s future relationship with the EU could be reviewed. The Daily Express describes his comments as a potential “U-turn” and notes he says going “all the way” could be considered, while The Independent highlights that he addresses Brexit after a Labour conference speech.
The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: one outlet foregrounds the idea of a direct Brexit reversal, while the other focuses on the context of Burnham’s remarks following party events. Both agree that Burnham does not present a final policy decision, but instead says options are being considered.
