‘Win-win’ deal with EU could be done, Andy Burnham says

Prime minister says reset could be a deal ‘like the Brexit people thought they were voting for in 2016’ Andy Burnham has said he believes a “win-win” deal could be done with the EU that could be “more like the Brexit that people thought they were voting for in 2016”. The prime minister was meeting fellow leaders at the European Political Community summit in Dublin, ahead of a keenly anticipated EU-UK summit next week, where he hopes to bring Britain closer to Europe.

Think he should sit down and keep his mouth shut, since his utter arrogance and stupidity got us into this mess because he was afraid of Farage in the first place and look how that worked out! Imagine having a referendum with zero plan for what would happen if the vote was to leave 😡

He triggered Brexit. Now Lord Cameron warns Burnham against rejoining EU

Burnham is right. Rethink the holy mess Cameron dumped us into on the basis of a less than fair franchise and much else besides. It‘s time to,join the EU as aoon as possible.

A good article by Charles Grant.

“Burnham seems open to jettisoning the red lines in Labour’s next manifesto, and wants to consider the pros and cons of all options”

Ten points are outlined …. But [Point 6] “It would be a nightmare for the EU if the UK left and rejoined every five years”

It is striking that the strongest argument being advanced against Andy Burnham’s brave decision to reopen the Brexit question is that any move to Rejoin would be divisive. No one bothers to argue that Brexit has been a success. My latest on how necessity is driving Britain back to Europe

How Britain Rejoins

Necessity, not opportunism, is pushing Burnham towards Rejoin. Success will depend on presentation, politics and process – and speed.

Very good reflection from @cergrant.bsky.social on the UK exploring re-accession to the EU

Only quibble is that UK should be vocal about why that would be in EU's interests too, especially if framing as part of wider British strategy

David Cameron was willing to stake Britain’s economic welfare and security on an in/out referendum a decade ago, but now he’s against taking any punt on trying to fix something that is very obviously broken because it would be divisive. “Won’t somebody please think of the Tory party?!”, etc.

Because a view on the EU side is that with the Burnham deal, things have “hit the ceiling” within the confines of the current model. And so Rachel Reeves’ Mais lecture plan to keep winnowing away at bits of the single market via dynamic alignment has been binned. So what is Burnham foregoing?

Another apt question on the Cameron intervention.

As a side: Cameron is very much not popular. Maybe good if he keeps making the Brexit arguments.

Matthew Holehouse @matthewholehouse.bsky.social · 1d

The question raised by the Cameron intervention: what exactly is the “partnership deal” he envisages being jeopardised by Burnham? What’s the market access he thinks is up for grabs that hasn’t already been explored and exhausted?
