Confirmed facts
Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.
Log in Andy Burnham said he wants an “honest discussion” about the possibility of a return to free movement between the UK and European Union as part of his plans for a new relationship with the bloc.
The Prime Minister wants to consider various options for a new relationship with Brussels, potentially including a return to full EU membership or joining the single market – which would require free movement.
The Prime Minister has previously committed to the red lines in Labour’s 2024 election manifesto – which ruled out the return of free movement, single market membership or a customs union – suggesting any fundamental change in the relationship would have to wait until after a general election.
He has said he will take the opportunity around the summit to lay out to the British public different options for the future relationship with the bloc.
The Prime Minister acknowledged freedom of movement “had very significant challenges associated with it and I spoke about them in my previous time in parliament”.
