Caption: Burnham Says Rejoining EU Is Among Options For UK. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has suggested that rejoining the European Union could be among the options considered as the government reviews Britain's long-term relationship with the bloc. Burnham told the BBC that the current Brexit settlement had caused "more harm than good" and said he wanted to examine what could realistically be done to improve relations. His comments follow a pledge at the Labour conference to explore closer EU ties at a summit expected later this year. Burnham had previously said he was not proposing that Britain consider rejoining the EU, while Labour's 2024 manifesto ruled out returning to the single market or customs union. The Conservatives accused the prime minister of reopening divisions over Brexit. Burnham has said the upcoming EU summit will coincide with the publication of a 10-year plan aimed at transforming the UK economy.
