What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Andy Burnham putting rejoining the EU on the table as part of a wider discussion of the UK’s future relationship with Europe. The BBC focuses on the direct quote that the current Brexit settlement has caused “more harm than good,” while the Guardian adds that the speech is getting a mixed review in the papers and says there is general consensus it is consequential.
