Andy Burnham says UK could rejoin the EU

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has told the BBC that the UK could eventually go all the way towards rejoining the European Union, arguing that the current Brexit settlement has caused more harm than good. His comments put him among the most senior UK politicians to openly float reversing Brexit, and are likely to fuel debate over Labour's stance on Europe and his own leadership ambitions.
Why now: A prominent Labour figure openly raising EU rejoin challenges the party's cautious position on Brexit and sparks speculation about his leadership intentions.
