Andy Burnham uses a Labour conference speech to argue that Brexit contributes to problems facing the UK. He says he will spell out options in discussions with Brussels later this year and hints that Labour could “go all the way.” Some reporting also frames this as a potential pledge to rejoin the European Union at the next election.

The accounts describe the speech as prompting internal Labour reaction, with critics reacting to the implied direction on Europe and the prospect of EU re-entry. In context, the comments position the party’s approach to Brexit as a central issue ahead of future negotiations and electoral choices. The outlets emphasize both Burnham’s claim about the impact of Brexit and the political consequences within Labour, though they focus differently on the perceived seriousness of “going all the way” versus the timing and process of talks with Brussels.
