Burnham says UK could rejoin EU as France and Spain welcome prospect
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said rejoining the EU is an option for Britain, prompting welcome responses from France, Spain and Germany.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham reopened the Brexit debate by suggesting his Labour government could consider rejoining the European Union among options for Britain's future relationship with the bloc. French President Emmanuel Macron and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez welcomed the prospect at a news conference in Madrid, with Macron saying 'welcome back' and describing UK membership as 'very good news' for both Britain and Europe. Germany's ambassador to the UK also said Britain would find a partner in Berlin if it chose to rejoin. However, some senior Cabinet ministers believe there is little appetite in Britain or Europe for such a move. The statement has also energised Nigel Farage and Reform UK, who see the reopening of the Brexit debate as a political opportunity.
