Brexit deal is not good enough for British public, says Andy Burnham

Andy Burnham criticized Brexit for not meeting public expectations, weakening the economy, and failing to control immigration. He expressed a desire for closer EU relations but ruled out rejoining in the current parliament. Burnham emphasized the need for practical improvements to the existing deal, acknowledging concerns from Labour MPs in leave-voting areas. He highlighted the negative impact of Brexit on immigration control and supported the home secretary's immigration proposals. Burnham also dismissed the idea of an early general election, stating that the upcoming budget would provide relief for citizens and businesses.
