Burnham to warn EU chief over "Made in Europe" plan, declines to rule out rejoining EU

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has warned that the EU's Made in Europe scheme could pose "collateral damage" to UK industry ahead of meeting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in New York.

• Burnham is set to hold talks with von der Leyen on Tuesday at the UN General Assembly, raising concerns over the Industrial Accelerator Act.
• Burnham said the scheme could "affect British industry and supply chains," warning UK steel interests could become "collateral damage."
• Burnham declined to rule out a pledge to rejoin the EU in Labour's next manifesto, calling the question "for another day."
• EU ambassador to the UK Jukka Salovaara said the "doors are open" but that decisions on deepening cooperation rest with the UK public.
