2029 sets the stage for UK-EU migration vote
Burnham will meet EU leaders in November to discuss migration policy changes.
By Rafael Ortega ·
The UK is likely to wait until after the 2029 general election to decide on returning to free movement with the EU. Prime Minister Andy Burnham wants an honest discussion with the public about the possibility of a return to free movement between the UK and the EU. He has been open about his desire to revisit the UK-EU relationship and has said a new deal could mean the UK goes 'all the way' and rejoins the EU. Other options discussed by Burnham include joining the single market or the customs union. In an interview with the Sunday Times, he said a new deal could mean the UK goes 'all the way' and rejoins the EU. The prime minister has previously committed to the red lines in Labour’s 2024 election manifesto, which ruled out the return of free movement, single market membership, or a customs union.
