A Union flag waves behind a European Union flag, outside the Houses of Parliament, in London, Wednesday, Oct. A pledge to rejoin the EU could ensure Labour win the next general election, according to a major new survey. An MRP poll by YouGov for the pro-Europe group, Best for Britain, has predicted Andy Burnham would likely win 321 seats in the Commons if he promised to reverse Vrexit.

  • The party is currently committed to its EU red lines ruling out rejoining customs union, the single market or bringing back freedom of movement.
