Few people will be surprised to hear that Andy Burnham has indicated that the forthcoming deals with the European Union – over food and farming, emissions trading and youth mobility – will be just the start of a longer process.
As the Prime Minister told the Sunday Mirror yesterday, ahead of next week's EU-UK meeting which will finalise the details of Britain's EU reset:
This summit will show what we can achieve together – but it doesn't need to be the end of our ambition. Working more closely with Europe could drive growth, make our country safer and give us more tools to tackle illegal migration. That's a conversation worth having.
Few will be surprised because the Labour party has been itching to reverse Brexit ever since it returned to power two years ago, and this summer it finally got a leader willing to make it happen.
