Prime Minister's Questions focused on Andy Burnham's Brexit stance

ByEwan SomervillePolitical reporterUpdated 1 hour ago

Andy Burnham has insisted there is "no confusion" over his position on the European Union, as he criticised the UK's current deal with the bloc.

The prime minister said it was his "responsibility" to improve the deal, which was ratified in 2020, at a summit in Brussels next month.

He denied he had shifted his stance since the Makerfield by-election when he promised not to "re-run" the Brexit debate. Earlier this week, he suggested he could call a referendum on the UK returning to EU freedom of movement, before No10 appeared to backtrack.
