Andy Burnham, speaking at Labour's 2026 conference, said the UK could 'go all the way' by rejoining the European Union, signalling a more ambitious stance on reversing Brexit than Labour has previously endorsed. The remarks have drawn attention among UK and European commentators, reopening debate over the party's position on EU membership and future trade policy with Brussels.
