Lord Kinnock told an Italian newspaper and The Guardian that Prime Minister Andy Burnham is genuinely committed to returning the UK to the European Union. He said any future attempt to rejoin would have to start almost from scratch, because the EU of 2016 no longer exists. He also warned that strong polling for Reform UK and the Conservatives is a major obstacle to rebuilding trust with Brussels.
