Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Britain needs an honest, evidence-based debate about bringing back free movement with the European Union. Speaking to the Sunday Times, he contrasted earlier short-stay migration with today's pressures. Labour's 2024 manifesto ruled out free movement and single market membership, so major change would likely wait for an election. He ruled out the euro and Schengen before November's summit in Brussels.
