French President Emmanuel Macron has responded 'welcome back' to a suggestion by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham that the UK could one day rejoin the European Union. The remark, reported by the Guardian, has reignited debate in Britain about its post-Brexit relationship with Europe and whether a future government might seek closer ties or eventual membership.
Why now: The French president openly endorsing the idea of the UK rejoining the EU is a striking shift in the Brexit debate.
