Burnham leaves door open to reversing Brexit at next election

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, speaking to reporters on his way to the UN General Assembly in New York before meeting the European Commission president, said whether Labour will campaign to reverse Brexit at the next general election is “a question for another day,” though some in his party back such a manifesto pledge. He said his immediate focus is a UK-EU summit hoped for later this year and building on predecessor Keir Starmer’s work rebuilding EU ties; on wholesale rejoining he said those issues are “for another day,” a shift from Starmer’s pledge to “make Brexit work.”
