Andy Burnham floats idea of UK rejoining EU
The UK could go 'all the way back' into the EU, says Prime Minister Andy Burnham who is looking at a range of options from doing nothing to rejoining. Burnham has raised the possibility of Britain rejoining the European Union, as the Labour Party conference came to an end in Liverpool.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Andy Burnham saying rejoining the EU is among the options under discussion, and both frame it as a reconsideration of the UK’s Brexit position. The Guardian US foregrounds Burnham’s more expansive wording, including “go all the way” and Labour’s post-Brexit red lines, while the BBC’s extract alone adds his claim that the current Brexit settlement has caused “more harm than good.”
