From Brexit to electoral reform: key takeaways from Andy Burnham’s conference speech
In his Today interview, Andy Burnham also said that he thought Britain needed to resolve what its relationship with the EU should be because it could not afford another decade of drift.
He explained:
What I am saying is it’s not good enough to leave that question just hanging.
I am saying, let’s be clear about where we want Britain to go in the next decade. And I’ve asked people to join with me on that.
I have said it, there’s no point me denying it, I’ve said in the book I would like to see Britain rejoin in my lifetime. So there was no point saying otherwise.
But it’s not necessarily the case that is now. Because we need to understand what would be the nature of how we would look at the different options.
