Story summary

The Labour leader, Andy Burnham, has signaled that his party will campaign for a general election to undo Brexit and return Britain to the European Union. The current Prime Minister has ruled out this possibility during the current parliament, which ends by July 2029 at the latest. However, he did not rule it out entirely post-election if Labour wins. Burnham stated on ITV's Good Morning Britain that while he supports rejoining the EU, such a decision would be contingent on public support, emphasizing that "the British public will be the bosses here." A poll by Mail Online is asking readers about their stance on another Brexit referendum.
