Kinnock claims Burnham will take UK back into EU; IMF urges fiscal discipline

Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock asserts PM Andy Burnham has an 'authentic commitment' to rejoining the EU, while Burnham promises 'serious dialogue' on UK-EU relations. Separately, IMF's top economist advises Defence Secretary John Healey to maintain fiscal repair after the fund upgraded UK growth. The claim is unverified and politically charged, with Burnham's evasiveness in Parliament suggesting caution.
