Burnham sets out EU options Macron welcomes announcement

Sep 29

Oman TV reports Emmanuel Macron welcoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham's initiative to revive debate over Britain's relationship with the European Union. It recalls Burnham's Labour conference promise to present long-term options around a bilateral summit before year-end, including the single market and customs union and gradually stronger ties with member states. It cites polling suggesting around 55 percent support rejoining, ten years after the Brexit vote. These are a pledge, reported reaction and opinion-poll figure; no re-entry agreement or completed policy change is announced.
