Campaigners have stressed that a new approach on Europe will “only hold” if politicians recognise the broad consensus of support across the country for restoring our EU membership.
It comes as Andy Burnham gave a statement to MPs in the House of Commons, which saw him air his proposal in Parliament for the first time since his Labour conference speech.
He told MPs that “sticking with the status quo is not good enough for Britain”.
Naomi Smith, Chief Executive of Best for Britain, said:
“Burnham’s approach to the damage Brexit has done to Britain is a breath of fresh air for our politics; but lasting relief requires lasting change, which will only hold if politicians recognise the broad consensus of belief across the country about the future of our relationship with Europe, free from foreign interference and influence.
“It’s clear that the facts have changed and with them voters’ minds have too, but they’re not won over by halfway house measures and there’s now a clear majority in favour of EU membership – and the £92bn economic transformation it can deliver to our communities.”
