Andy Burnham says Brexit has "done more harm than good"

An opinion piece sharply criticizes Andy Burnham over his recent Brexit remarks. According to the column, Burnham said on a podcast that Russian interference in the Brexit referendum was clear; Downing Street denied it, and Burnham later told the Commons he had not implied such interference. The column notes that the head of MI5, a parliamentary intelligence committee, and Labour ministers have said there is no evidence of Kremlin interference. It also accuses Burnham of contradicting an earlier promise to voters in Makerfield not to undo Brexit and of now favoring closer ties with the EU. The piece argues the UK has grown faster than some EU economies and that rejoining would carry costs, citing a YouGov poll showing support drops when those costs are explained.
