Andy Burnham, speaking in the House of Commons, said: I am not reopening the referendum. I respect the result of the referendum. But I will take a pragmatic approach to boost the British economy and increase cooperation in the fight against boats crossing the Channel.

The politician stressed that he does not intend to break the promises made by the Labour Party before the parliamentary elections in 2024. He also said he would rule out a return to the EU's single market or customs union. London will not return to freedom of movement with Brussels. Mr Burnham said he was convinced that not improving trade ties with the EU would be irresponsible.
