PM says ignoring EU deal would be a 'dereliction of duty'

• Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told Parliament that ignoring the opportunity for a new deal with the EU would be a “dereliction of duty”.
• A UK-EU summit in Brussels scheduled for 20 November will focus on resetting relations, targeting growth, energy, youth mobility, and illegal immigration.
• Mr Burnham said that potential agreements on trade, emissions, and energy could inject £10bn annually into the UK economy by 2040.
• He also gave a strong hint that he will seek to persuade the public to allow him to reverse Brexit.
• Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticised the prime minister, arguing that revealing his negotiating goals publicly undermines the UK's position.
