Burnham Advocates Closer EU Relationship: Big Gains Will Only Come from Rejoining the Single Market

Annette Young is pleased to welcome Tim Bale, a Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University in London. Andy Burnham inherits the Labour leadership at a moment when Britain's political debate is defined less by ideology than by structural constraints. Professor Bale argues that Burnham's success will depend on navigating three interconnected dilemmas: restoring economic growth to unlock fiscal capacity, rebuilding public confidence in the state's ability to manage migration, and gradually redefining Britain's post Brexit relationship with Europe without reopening politically divisive debates prematurely.
