Burnham may drop call to rejoin EU

Burnham may drop call to rejoin EU

Illustration: AI-generated for editorial context. Not photographic evidence.

A new poll shows voters are split on Andy Burnham as a potential Prime Minister, which could impact his return to Westminster. He is expected to drop his call to reverse Brexit, though he will still advocate for close UK-EU ties. This comes as he faces a by-election for the Makerfield seat, a constituency that voted to leave the EU in 2016.
