Andy Burnham says UK has ‘lost more than we gained’ through Brexit

PM accuses Tories of burning ‘all our bridges’ and says deal he is pursuing with EU will ‘get food prices down’

Andy Burnham has said the UK has “lost more than we gained” since leaving the EU, the prime minister’s latest in a string of comments criticising Brexit.

Outlining his desire to form closer ties with Brussels, Burnham accused the Conservative party of having “burned all our bridges” with the bloc after Brexit and said a new deal he hopes to secure with the EU next week will “get food prices down” and put more money in the pockets of British exporters.
