Summary
The Liberal Democrats are set to urge Labour leader Andy Burnham to abandon his party's cautious stance on the EU and pursue rejoining the single market. Ed Davey will make the call ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote, arguing for closer economic ties with the EU including free movement, and proposing a new European security council. This represents a notable strengthening of the Lib Dems' position on Europe.
