French Minister Invites UK to 'Come All the Way' Back to EU

Over 10 years since the EU referendum that saw the UK vote to leave the European Union, French finance minister Roland Lescure has invited Britain to "come all the way" back to the EU. His comments come after UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham signalled a second Brexit referendum was "possible" in a future Labour election manifesto. When asked about Burnham's comments, Lescure told the BBC: "British people decided, and that's obviously their 100% right, and if they're willing to come back, we would welcome them." The statement reflects a softening stance from EU officials amid shifting political winds in the UK. The interview highlights the ongoing debate over Brexit's consequences and the potential for a reversal. BBC News provides the full exchange and analysis of what a return to the EU might entail.
