Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester, said Britain "can't afford another decade of post-Brexit drift" and suggested the UK should consider rejoining the European Union, arguing Brexit has caused "more harm than good." Burnham's comments, reported by The Guardian and EasternEye, mark a significant intervention by a senior Labour figure in the ongoing debate over Britain's relationship with the EU following its 2020 departure.
