UK and EU to hold a summit in November after Burnham accuses Russia of meddling in European politics
Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Russia's attempts to meddle in European politics highlight why Britain must strengthen ties with the European Union. On Monday, he told lawmakers that Russia's interference in democratic votes across Europe, including the 2016 Brexit referendum, shows the need for closer links with Europe. Burnham argues that the current relationship is inadequate and says it would be a "dereliction of duty" not to seek stronger ties.
The U.K. and EU announced a summit in Brussels on November 20 to discuss issues including trade, energy and immigration. Burnham's stance marks a shift from previous British governments that have avoided reopening the Brexit debate.
