UK Wants Deeper Post Brexit Relationship with EU Under Burnham, Says Minister Hamish Falconer's recent comments on a "deeper" relationship between the UK and EU have sparked renewed interest in Labour's post Brexit strategy.
As Andy Burnham's top EU negotiator, Falconer has pledged to create a more ambitious partnership with Brussels. Falconer's emphasis on services as an area for further cooperation is particularly noteworthy.
The UK has traditionally been integrated into EU markets through trade agreements rather than membership in the single market or customs union.
