Burnham vows to outpace Starmer on EU reset ahead of PM's Brexit speech

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has pledged to pursue a 'further and faster' Brexit reset than Prime Minister Keir Starmer, signaling intra-party divergence on EU relations. The PM is set to outline his own vision in a major speech on Tuesday, making this a politically significant pre-emptive move. The extent of actual policy divergence remains unclear, but the rhetoric suggests potential friction within the Labour Party over the pace of rapprochement with Brussels.
