UK PM Burnham says may rejoin EU; France, Spain say 'welcome back'

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Wednesday that the UK could rejoin the European Union as one of the options after considering “pros and cons” of its possible relationships with the organisation.Burnham had backed remaining in the EU during the 2016 referendum.On Tuesday, Burnham spoke at the Labour Party's annual conference and said the country should once more look at its options for "Britain's long-term relationship with our European partners".He argued that Brexit had not delivered the "taking back control" promised by its supporters, and had instead left the country weaker, particularly on the economy and in handling high levels of immigration.An EU-UK summit, originally scheduled for July 22, was postponed after Keir Starmer resigned as prime minister. It could now take place in November, although any formal move would have to wait until the next election, which is due by mid-2029.
