UK leader Burnham open to debate on return to EU free movement
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he is open to discussing a return to free movement with the European Union. Senior ministers Angela Rayner and Ed Miliband backed his call, as did business leaders. Some Labour MPs in Brexit-voting areas warned it could cost seats. Burnham meets EU leaders at a summit on November 20.
Why it matters
Free movement would let Britons and EU citizens live and work in each other's countries again.
Background
Britain left the EU in 2020, ending free movement of people. Burnham has said Brexit did more harm than good to the UK.
