Rejecting closer EU ties would be dereliction of duty, PM to say
Addressing the Commons, Burnham is expected to say that a new deal with the EU could help tackle illegal immigration and boost economic growth.
I'm glad he's saying it how it is, and not letting the right-wing scare him into never touching their sacred cow of Brexit.
I assume that Labour have some polling data showing that their party could benefit in a general election if they take a more pro-Europe stance. Otherwise, Burnham might not be making statements like this.
What do you think?
