UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has promised to canvass opinion on options for Britain's future relationship with the European Union, reigniting the Brexit debate.

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.

Why it matters

The debate on Britain's EU relationship may have significant implications for the country's politics and policies. 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.

Key facts

  • Burnham has promised to canvass opinion on options for Britain's future relationship with the EU.
  • Nigel Farage says Burnham's move opens the door to Reform.
  • Farage claims rejoining the EU would be a "massive transfer of huge powers" to the EU.
