No10 clarifies Burnham’s stance on Brexit after he hinted at return to freedom of movement

Downing Street has been forced to clarify Andy Burnham’s stance on whether the UK would return to having freedom of movement with the EU after the prime minister said an “honest discussion” was needed on the issue.

Burnham fuelled speculation about a return to freedom of movement in an interview last weekend, prompting questions about how close the UK could become to Brussels.
