Just did an interesting survey on Burnham's conference speech.
Of course I opted for a 'full fat' rejoin - Euro, Schengen etc.
And PR before the next General Eleciton

I hope it's one of the surveys that are being fed back to No.10

UK faces no immediate military threat.
We should spend less on defence.
Why is no-one daring to suggest this?
Who controls the narrative?
UK government knows how to waste money, for sure.
Why should the poor pay for this incompetence?
There is no immediate military threat to Britain. We should spend less on defence | Simon Jenkins
Parliament, media and thinktanks are united in their view that more military spending is still not enough. But sacrificing domestic projects to pay for it is indefensible, says Guardian columnist Simo...

'Brexit' was a post-imperial spasm, Britain's right-wing corporate press having turned decades of EU membership into xenophobia (while Ireland used its opportunity to become post-nationalist and prosperous). Back in, the UK must not be a 'free-market' brake again: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

An EU spokesperson said: “The UK is a close and valued partner of the European Union. It is for the UK government to set out how it wishes to develop its relationship with the EU going forward. We remain open to engaging on the options it may put forward.”

(They know that likely includes rejoining)

It is becoming clearer by the day that Andy Burnham is not just talking about rejoining the EU, but seriously exploring the possibility.

Senior Downing Street officials have been reaching out to thinktanks and pollsters to gather data on public support for the UK rejoining the EU.

The article brings up opposition leaders.

It was noticeable after Burnham's speech, that Reform focussed on the triple lock scrapping and Tories on their latest Youth Slavery scheme rather than Brexit.

They know supporting Brexit is a vote loser now.
It's done too much damage.

All well and good. But if I was Number 10 then (no offence folks!!) I wouldn't put much weight behind MRP push polling or frankly stupid poll questions about the Euro.

Suggestion: commission some serious work the political framing and real-world trade-offs.
