Burnham said:
- “I can’t avoid the Europe question if I’m to put out a credible ten-year plan for Britain.”
- “I don’t know what Europe will say about the different options… We’ve got to look at where we are, where they are and see what is a realistic and viable approach in all of the areas that we mentioned and then open up a conversation about it.”
- “I think we’d have to see where the options fell out, what people feel about them, and then depending on what people seem to be pointing towards, what we then do.”
- Not “leaping towards” any one option.
- Referendum: “Yeah, things are possible.”
- “We have to proceed with great care… referendums do damage… divide households and communities.”
- Asked about referendum again: “I wouldn’t rule anything out at this moment.”
Is the next election Keep Brexit Done?
