Why It Matters
The UK left the European Union, leading to changes in trade and migration rules.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the country's exit from the European Union had done more harm than good by weakening controls on migration, and promised to develop a new approach to relations with Europe.
"We will not be able to provide the UK with the level of development it needs to live in the 21st century until we have a long-term relationship with what remains our biggest market. I can't say we are happy with the situation we find ourselves in. Brexit has done more harm than good," Burnham said at the Labor Party's annual convention.
He stressed that Brexit has weakened controls over migration due to weakening cooperation with European partners.
“There will be an EU-UK summit at the end of this year, where the question of how best we can interact on immigration will not be on the agenda. In addition, we will work to ensure support for the sectors of the British economy most affected by Brexit,” the prime minister added.
