Blair urges Labour to work towards UK rejoining EU within a decade

Former UK prime minister Tony Blair has called on Labour leader Andy Burnham to commit to working towards Britain rejoining the EU within ten years, with a Tony Blair Institute paper proposing the UK accept free movement and financial contributions as the price of re-entry. Polling suggests such a pledge could significantly boost Labour's electoral prospects, reflecting growing political momentum within the governing party to reverse Brexit and re-integrate Britain into European structures. Any eventual UK return to the EU would mark a significant reversal of national sovereignty and a further step toward consolidated European political and economic authority.
