UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he will consider rejoining the European Union

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he will consider all options for the UK's future relationship with the European Union, including rejoining. In a BBC interview, he outlined possibilities such as staying as they are, joining a customs union, joining the single market, or going "all the way" and rejoining. He wants to be clear on the UK's direction for the next decade. This comes despite Labour's 2024 manifesto ruling out such moves. He also addressed rising energy bills and confirmed plans to scrap the pension triple lock from 2030 to fund a national care service.
