Brexit to Blame for UK Unrest, Burnham Claims

The UK’s radical progressive Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, continues to push an anti-Brexit narrative intended to set up a redo election. He hopes to bring the UK back into the EU, and he aims to use the riots and unrest in Britian to stigmatize Brexit. He is now directly accusing Brexit of being the underlying cause of the unrest in the country, not the unfettered immigration of foreigners that hate Britian, nor the criminalization of dissent against it.

EXCERPT:

• Andy Burnham has blamed Brexit for Britain’s migrant crisis, arguing that leaving the European Union resulted in “weaker control” over immigration.
• He said that the small boats crisis stemmed from the UK losing its ability to return migrants in the manner it previously could under EU arrangements.
  
• While expressing a desire for the UK to rejoin the EU in his lifetime, Burnham insisted he would not move ahead of public opinion or dictate the process.
• Burnham ruled out reintroducing EU freedom of movement without a public referendum, confirming no changes will be proposed during this parliament.
• More than 200,000 migrants have crossed the Channel since 2018, despite a 41 per cent drop in small boat arrivals during the first half of 2026.
