Prime Minister Andy Burnham won't rule out a return to EU free movement as Farage brands it a 'total betrayal'

Andy Burnham, Prime Minister, whom Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said "hasn't thought this through" after he refused to rule out a return to EU free movement.

Scenes of civil unrest in France that Nigel Farage shared online, claiming they showed "what Andy Burnham wants an open border with" ahead of the Prime Minister's Brussels summit on 20 November.

Andy Burnham claimed pre-Brexit migration was 'revolving door' and 'perhaps wasn't as difficult' as now, with more arrivals settling permanently. He backed Labour's 2024 manifesto ruling out free movement, yet refused to call it a red line. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage also branded him 'deluded'. Burnham will meet Ursula von der Leyen and EU chiefs in Brussels on November 20.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp: 'The British people voted to end free movement.'

Kemi Badenoch said the Prime Minister 'hasn't thought this through'.

Burnham has said Brexit did 'more harm than good' and has floated rejoining the EU one day.
