UK PM Burnham Signals EU Rejoin Option, Calls Brexit 'Net Negative'

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has publicly stated that Brexit has caused 'more harm than good' and has not ruled out the UK rejoining the EU, marking a significant shift in official UK posture. This represents a reversal from the previous Conservative government's stance and signals a potential major realignment of UK-EU relations, though no concrete policy steps or formal proposals have been announced. The statements have been confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources, indicating a deliberate policy shift, but the timeline and specific mechanisms for rapprochement or re-entry remain uncertain.
