Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Burnham Says He Will Not Reopen Brexit Battle
Caption: Burnham Says He Will Not Reopen Brexit Battle. Andy Burnham has said he does not want to “re-run” the Brexit debate, insisting he is not proposing the UK rejoins the European Union. Burnham acknowledged Brexit has been damaging but warned Britain would remain stuck if politics continues to focus on old divisions. The comments come as speculation grows over a possible Labour leadership challenge against Keir Starmer if Burnham returns to Westminster through the Makerfield by-election. Brexit is emerging as a key dividing line within Labour after former health secretary Wes Streeting suggested the UK should eventually rejoin the EU. Burnham is expected to seek selection as Labour’s candidate in Makerfield, a constituency that strongly backed Brexit in 2016. The growing debate highlights wider tensions inside Labour over the party’s future direction. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
