British Prime Minister Burnham hints at a return to free movement of the European Union British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has stated that he wants an "honest discussion" about a potential return to the EU's free movement regime. He acknowledged that while the current immigration issues are complex, the previous system was less difficult than the current "revolving door" immigration. Burnham clarified that full re-entry into the community would require a referendum, but joining the single market or the customs union may not. However, he declared the adoption of the euro and entry into the Schengen area as absolute red lines in relations with the European Union.
