UK PM Andy Burnham vows to renegotiate post-Brexit trade deal with EU

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to push for closer relations with the European Union, confirming he will attend a bilateral summit in Brussels next month. Addressing parliament on Monday, Burnham said parts of the trade deal agreed with the EU after the UK voted to leave in 2016 would be renegotiated. Burnham said that the British public would be “the boss” at every stage of renegotiating Britain’s relationship with the EU and that he wanted “serious dialogue” about long-term ties. He told members of parliament that his focus at the summit would be boosting growth in the economy and controlling illegal immigration.
