British MPs will debate a petition calling for Britain to rejoin the EU on their first day back in Parliament following a conference break. The petition, which has over 110,000 signatures, argues that Brexit has caused significant harm and advocates for reversing the decision to leave the EU to boost economic growth. Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham acknowledged Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum and stated the importance of informing voters about such foreign interference.

Story summary
On Monday, MPs will return from their conference season break and one of the first debates scheduled is on a petition titled "Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK." The petition has over 110,000 signatures, surpassing the threshold for a parliamentary debate. In his Labour Party conference speech, Sadiq Khan called Brexit a “historic mistake,” echoing sentiments that London overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU during the 2016 referendum when all but five of its 33 councils favored staying inside the union. A recent poll indicates that support for EU membership remains strong among British citizens.
