UK and EU. What's at stake?

Burnham was asked what options were on the table after he said he would present various options to the country for a new relationship with the EU.

We can also go all out. It's clear that there are several options that need to be considered. We need to check what is feasible and what the advantages and disadvantages of each of these solutions would be, said the Prime Minister.

Among other possibilities, the Prime Minister mentioned staying with the current arrangement and joining the customs union or the common market.

Burnham: Let's get clear on the direction

This question cannot be allowed to continue to hang in the air. I say let's set a clear direction for the country over the next decade and I'm asking people to join me," Burnham added.

On Tuesday, during the Labor Party conference in Liverpool, Burnham announced that he wanted to change the United Kingdom's relationship with the European Union and would present several proposals on this matter this year and then try to build consensus around one of them.

Brexit has brought more harm than benefits, he said.

“Back door to the EU?”

Alex Burghart, deputy leader of the Conservative Party, accused Burnham on Tuesday of "trying to reopen old wounds" from the times of heated discussions about Brexit, and the deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, accused the prime minister of "trying to drag the country into the EU through the back door".

A UK-European Union summit is scheduled to be held later this year to strengthen relations. The Financial Times writes that European diplomats expect it to take place in Brussels on November 20.
