Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has claimed that Andy Burnham would take Britain back into the European Union if he became prime minister. The remark, reported in Guardian UK politics live coverage on 13 October 2026, comes as Burnham is widely discussed as a potential Labour leadership rival to Keir Starmer, making his position on Europe a fresh flashpoint in the party.

Why now: Burnham is seen as a potential challenge to Keir Starmer's leadership, so claims about his EU stance fuel leadership speculation
