DAILY MAIL COMMENT: It’s Brexit betrayal humiliation for Andy Burnham… as he tugs his forelock to Brussels AGAIN

A Daily Mail comment article argues that Andy Burnham’s proposed closer ties with the EU would amount to a betrayal of Brexit and could lead to further concessions. It claims EU negotiators are pressing the Government to change its plans on deporting European criminals, and says the proposals would give Brussels greater influence over UK policy.

The article cites a draft plan that it says includes cheaper university fees for EU students, a scheme allowing up to 100,000 EU nationals to enter the UK each year, and UK food exports meeting EU standards. It also links Labour policies to rising youth employment costs, fewer than 700,000 job vacancies and about one million young people not in education, employment or training. These are claims and figures presented by the opinion piece.
