Andy Burnham opens the door to a return of free movement with the EU and calls for an 'honest discussion'
Nigel Farage branded it 'a total betrayal of Brexit Britain and his Makerfield pitch' and vowed: 'We will fight this dishonesty.' Prime Minister Andy Burnham wants an 'honest discussion' on free movement. He has said EU migration was once 'revolving door' and that 'the balance of migration has changed'. He has floated rejoining the EU or the single market.
Labour's 2024 manifesto explicitly ruled out free movement, the single market and a customs union.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp insists there can be 'no return' after the 2016 referendum.
Burnham meets EU chiefs at a Brussels summit on November 20.
