Andy Burnham says Keir "did a good job in re-establishing that relationship" on EU outreach

Andy Burnham, who took over as U.K. prime minister from Keir Starmer, has placed continuity with his predecessor’s European Union outreach at the top of his agenda. His premiership is being watched in Spain for its possible effects on U.K.-Spain relations and British residents there. Burnham, an ex-mayor of Greater Manchester and Labour MP, has spoken with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez by phone and met him in New York during the U.N. High-Level Week. According to the article, his government favors gradual closer cooperation with Europe rather than immediate EU membership, and it says no major changes are expected to residency rules, TIE cards, or the 90/180-day limit.
