Burnham opening door to Reform by reigniting Brexit debate, Farage says
What happened
Andy Burnham has promised to look at options for Britain's future relationship with the EU, which Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, says opens the door to Reform. Farage claims Burnham has made a "very big political mistake" by considering rejoining the single market, customs union, or EU. The Reform UK leader also suggests the public may change their minds on rejoining the EU once they know the costs and implications.

The decision could affect the balance of power between the UK and the EU, as well as the country's economic and social policies. The impact of rejoining the EU on the UK's devolution process is also a point of contention.
