(today) Andy Burnham receives warning from Labour MP over rolling out EU rules across red wall seats: Andy Burnham has been warned that Labour heartland voters "do not support" Britain signing up to EU rules he "cannot control". New polling conducted by Britain Unbound surveyed voters in Makerfield, the Prime Minister's constituency.
(3 days ago) Andy Burnham to slash EU students' fees while making Brits pay more (intro): Andy Burnham has been accused of putting foreign students ahead of Brits as Tories launched a furious attack on plans to cut fees for EU citizens at UK universities. The Prime Minister's plan to cosy up to the EU, designed to pave the way for a new trade deal, is expected to cost £450million in lost tuition fee income.
But it comes as the Labour Government pushes up student fee repayments by £400million for UK graduates. Conservative Shadow Education Secretary Laura Trott said: "Politics is about priorities, and English students are bottom of the list for Andy Burnham...
(Nov 7) Andy Burnham's EU 'reset' deal could cost families £1,220 each - amid fears Britain will help fund net zero schemes in eastern Europe (intro): Andy Burnham stands accused of planning to burden working families with a bill of £1,220 each as the price of his 'reset' of relations with the EU. Kemi Badenoch said a leaked draft agreement between London and Brussels shows Britain would have to contribute toward funding net zero schemes or infrastructure programmes in countries such as Romania and Hungary.
When combined with other commitments, Mrs Badenoch said the total bill for the country would be £23billion over the course of Mr Burnham's ten-year plan. The Prime Minister is preparing to sign up to a post-Brexit 'reset' at a summit on November 20.
The Tories said the leaked draft agreement showed that Labour was preparing to agree to 'an appropriate level of financial contribution towards reducing economic and social disparities between the regions of the EU'. They pointed to the example of Switzerland, which struck a similar agreement but ended up paying millions into EU schemes that had no benefit for Swiss taxpayers, such as promoting renewable energy on the Bucharest metro.
The party says that the Government would run up a bill of £13billion over ten years...

VIDEO EXCERPT: Well, it appears even voters in Andy Burnham's own constituency are not exactly thrilled with his EU plan, which, of course, for some reason includes subsidizing EU students to come and study at our university to the tune of hundreds of billions of pounds per year potentially.
Also funding countries across the European Union as if we don't need the money ourselves and even demands by the European Union as to who we can and can't deport. Oh, and by the way, in terms of the rejoin campaign, EU membership would now cost even more than ever before. It would be absolute insanity to even consider it.
Really interesting. You saw Andy Burnham's assurances on not reopening the EU Brexit debate before the Makerfield by-election. And after completely changing his tone and his message and his policy. But you can see here now in his own constituency of Makerfield, people aren't happy. 74% of those surveyed in Makerfield believe food standards should be decided by our own government.
Well, yeah, why not? The same with animal welfare. The same with various other important decisions. So, a very clear message here. The Makerfield test that failed, by Andy Bernham, who, as I said, has basically changed his entire tone on this.
And if Labour is seriously going ahead with these sorts of EU deals, then I suspect voters are going to have a very firm message when they're actually finally allowed to vote in a general election.
