Andy Burnham declines to rule out EU rejoin pledge

Original: Andy Burnham declines to rule out manifesto bid to rejoin EU https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/andy-burnham-prime

Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor often mentioned as a Labour leadership contender, refused to rule out putting EU re-entry in a future manifesto, drawing comparisons with Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez. Supporters see it as opening a debate on Europe within Labour; opponents argue rejoining remains politically risky and far from party policy.

Why now: Burnham's remarks fuel ongoing speculation about his leadership ambitions and Labour's position on Brexit.
