The British Prime Minister says negotiations are needed to restore free movement between the EU and the UK

Andy Burnham believes negotiations with the EU on restoring free movement for citizens are possible. He emphasizes the need for honest discussions based on facts. Following Brexit, the UK left the EU's single market and customs union, with the Conservative government rejecting conditions for EU citizens' rights. Burnham suggests that many EU migrants were young and returned home after a few years. He has proposed closer ties with the EU, including potential full membership. Recent studies advocate for the UK's return to the EU, highlighting that it could rejoin within a parliamentary term due to existing alignment with EU regulations. The IPPR recommends making full EU membership a medium-term goal for the UK government.
