Liverpool: Britain's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has opened the door to reversing Brexit-era red lines, saying 'Brexit has done more harm than good.' Here is what his Labour conference speech means.

Who is Burnham: He became prime minister after Keir Starmer resigned, and addressed his first Labour conference as leader in Liverpool on September 29.

What he said: Burnham promised to present several options for Britain's future relationship with the EU later this year, arguing the country must decide its long-term direction.

What the options mean: keeping the current arrangement; joining a customs union, which would remove tariffs on goods; rejoining the single market, which would restore free movement of goods, services and people; or going all the way back into full EU membership.

Why it matters: Labour's 2024 manifesto ruled out all three of the closer options. Reopening them breaks a central election promise — Conservatives accused Burnham of dragging Britain 'back into' the Brexit argument.

What happens next: Burnham will set out the options around a UK-EU summit planned later this year; the original July summit slipped to November over 'made in Europe' rule disputes. The next vote is due in 2029.
