Burnham to prioritise trade and migration at UK-EU summit, after accusing Russia of meddling in Brexit referendum

What happened: Andy Burnham will meet EU leaders in Brussels on 20 November to push for a new post-Brexit trade deal and closer cooperation on immigration, and said Russia meddled in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Key numbers: Summit on 20 November. Renegotiation could add over £10bn (€11.8bn) per year to the UK economy by 2040. Brexit vote was 10 years ago. Why it matters: Burnham said the post-Brexit status quo is not good enough and hinted Britain could rejoin the EU, while UK officials worry the Made in Europe law could hurt British manufacturers.
