Andy Burnham says Britain is ready for closer ties with the European Union, reigniting the debate over Brexit and the UK’s future relationship with Europe. Charlie Rowley, former Conservative Special Adviser, and Fred de Fossard, Director of Strategy at the Prosperity Institute, join us to discuss whether Labour is paving the way for closer EU integration and what it could mean for Britain.
We also examine the row over claims that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum, after Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage criticised Burnham’s comments. Is the debate over Brexit being reopened, and what does it mean for the country’s political future?
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage says Reform UK would shut down the UK asylum system for five years, while threatening tariffs and flight bans in an effort to pressure other countries over migrant returns. Emma Trimble, Senior Fellow at the New Culture Forum, joins us to discuss Reform’s immigration proposals, whether they could work in practice and what they would mean for Britain’s relationship with the rest of the world.
