Burnham open to 'honest discussion' on EU free movement

Andy Burnham said he was open to an “honest discussion” about potentially restoring free movement between the UK and the European Union as part of a closer relationship, which could include joining the single market or the EU. He argued that migration today differs from the pre-Brexit pattern, while noting that any change would require an electoral mandate; Labour’s 2024 manifesto ruled out free movement and membership of the single market or customs union. Angela Rayner urged a pragmatic discussion of possible trade-offs, while Kemi Badenoch said the prime minister had not thought the issue through and Robert Jenrick called the idea “mad.” Burnham said he could not imagine recommending UK membership of the euro or Schengen, ahead of a European summit in Brussels on 20 November where the prime minister is expected to present options for resetting relations.

Donald Trump said the United States could strike as soon as “tomorrow” but also raised the possibility of an agreement with Tehran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused Washington of derailing negotiations while urging efforts to reach a deal to continue.
