What a load of bollocks. Brexit wouldn't have failed if a competent person had handled it properly. Unfortunately we had idiots that didn't want Brexit therefore it was made to look like a failure just like labour is failing the UK right now. Time for you to go, we need change!

I would think it’s higher than 60% to be honest. Name something that’s improved is a great game to play.

Um. 'Could be among the options', he is the PM, he could make a choice. A customs union, the Single Market or the EEA are fast track possibilities. A discussion for the next ten years is pointless.

If he didn’t believe in Brexit he could do something about it now with 3 years and a huge majority. The fact he keeps his red lines tells you all you need to know about this con man.

Good to hear #jonkay asking @andyburnham the right questions, but when broaching the subject of his father, it wld have been nice if he had offered his condolences (on camera). He hasn't even had the funeral yet. For that alone, giving that amazing speech is beyond commendable

"My dad represented a quiet patriotism, you know, .... the country fighting fascism in the second world war, my dad was characteristic of that era, people pulled together, worked together"... Roy Burnham was born in 1940 or 1941. He was a toddler or infant when the war ended. There is no record of him fighting fascism or even serving in the military😬

60% reckon it’s been a disaster? Funny how that number only pops up when certain people want another go at the EU. Not buying it.

That's because no one has implemented it. All bend over tto keep E. U. happy. We paid most of anyone into it and told what laws we had to abide by. Implement what majority voted for or resign.

Doesn’t seem to realise the EU (not to mention France and Germany), will not be the same EU the UK left in 2015. Not many smart people left in Labour these days….

Andy Burnham, "We could stay as we are, that's definitely an option if people think this is the right place to stay" "We could look at what George Osborne has said about a Customs Union" "We can look at what the Liberal Democrats have said about the Single Market" "Or we could all the way" "There are clearly options that need to be considered. We have to look at what is doable and look at the pros and cons of each" "It's not good enough to leave that question hanging" "Let's be clear where we want Britain to go in the next decade" "The country cannot have another decade, like the one we just had: too much drift, too much division" "Brexit has caused more harm than good" "Around 60% of the British public agree with that statement" "The question is, what do we do about that" My view: Well butter my crumpet and call me a startled pigeon: a British Prime Minister has finally said the obvious. Brexit has done more harm than good. It was obvious when Keir Starmer became Prime Minister too. But he was too busy talking about an “island of strangers”, defending the arrest of non-violent protesters holding placards, and trying to make Brexit work to seriously confront the future of the country. Andy Burnham is at least setting out the real choices: stay as we are, a Customs Union, the Single Market, or go all the way and rejoin the EU. That is what serious politics looks like: admit the last decade has been drift and division, weigh the evidence, and decide where Britain needs to be in the next decade. Because leaving the question “hanging” is not a strategy. “Make Brexit work” was never a strategy either. And my vote is clear: rejoin the EU. With our neighbouring countries, we are stronger. We can trade more freely, protect workers and consumers, tackle the climate crisis, strengthen security, and meet the shared challenges facing our continent and our planet. Cooperation does not make Britain weaker. It gives us more influence, more opportunity, and a better chance of building a future that works. Rejoin the EU.

Journalist, "Rejoin the EU or stay out?" Andy Burnham, "I want to rejoin" "I hope in my lifetime, I want to rejoin the European Union" "I believe in the unions of all kinds. The union of the UK. The EU benefitted this country. Trade unions" "People prosper more when they're part of unions" Earlier in the interview... "Then you come to Brexit... During the 80s and 90s, the growth we had through the European Union masked some of structural problems" "But the minute you come to Brexit, then look at the last decade" "Shouldn't we start calling out the disaster that Brexit has been more directly?" "I think we should" "We've been stuck now with sluggish growth, and all of the aspirations now are harder to achieve as a country" "That's Nigel Farage and Brexiters doing, and you have to hold them accountable for that" Pippa Crerar, "Is there a danger of being seen as the same old Labour pushing to rejoin the EU?" Andy Burnham, "I don't think there's a prospect of joining any time soon, but I do think we should be honest with people" "It's not just on the economy and growth. It's immigration" "Immigration has ben weakened as a result of Brexit" "We've replaced short term immigration from the EU with long term immigration from outside the EU" "Call out Nigel Farage and Brexiters" Journalist, "Do you think Nigel Farage is racist?" Andy Burnham, "I don't know him well so I'm not going to say that. But I do see policies that are discriminatory. And that worries me"
