DUBLIN - Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he believes a "win-win" deal could be done with the European Union, according to The Guardian. The newspaper reported that Burnham made the remarks while meeting fellow leaders at the European Political Community summit in Dublin.
According to The Guardian, Burnham described the reset in relations as potentially resembling the version of Brexit that voters had expected when they backed leaving the bloc in 2016. The newspaper said the remarks came ahead of an event it described as keenly anticipated.
The Guardian's report was written by Jennifer Rankin in Dublin, with contributions from Jessica Elgot, Lisa O'Carroll and Pippa Crerar.
BBC News reported that Burnham said a "win-win" deal can be agreed between the United Kingdom and the EU. It said the prime minister will travel to Brussels next week to finalise discussions at the UK-EU summit.
The summaries of both reports available for this story do not set out the terms of a proposed agreement. Neither The Guardian nor BBC News, in the text available, identifies the specific issues that remain under discussion.
