Andy Burnham has signalled his intention to deepen Britain’s relationship with the EU while declining to rule out a future Labour commitment to rejoin the bloc. Asked whether Labour could campaign for EU membership at the next general election, Burnham described that as a question for 'another day', stressing that his immediate priority is rebuilding relations and securing agreements that strengthen Britain’s economy. He hopes to hold a UK-EU summit later this year and is discussing issues including trade, industrial cooperation and youth mobility. Tensions remain over proposed EU 'Made in Europe' rules, which Britain fears could disadvantage UK manufacturers and supply chains. Burnham is expected to raise these concerns with EC president Ursula von der Leyen. Former Labour leader Lord Kinnock has meanwhile urged him to make the case for eventually rejoining the EU. Any such move would reopen one of Britain’s most divisive political debates, with opponents arguing it would disregard the 2016 referendum while supporters advocate closer integration with Europe.
