Andy Burnham, speaking in Berlin, told German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that he wants to bring the UK closer to Europe. The Greater Manchester mayor's remarks came during a visit to the German capital and have drawn attention given his position as a potential future Labour leadership contender and the sensitivity of Europe policy within UK politics. Reactions have focused on what the statement signals about his ambitions and Labour's direction on Europe.
Why now: Burnham is widely seen as a possible future Labour leader, so his pro-Europe pitch to a foreign head of government is politically significant
