@stvnews: Andy Burnham will use a key UK-EU summit next month to push for new post-Brexit deals with the bloc as he insisted “the status quo is not good enough” for Britain. The two sides will seek to sign a new food and drink agreement, a youth mobility scheme and a pact on emissions trading which the Prime Minister hopes could provide a £10bn boost to the economy. But Britain remains braced for a possible row over protectionist “Made in Europe” trade rules amid industry fears they could lock out UK manufacturers. In a Commons address on Monday, Mr Burnham told MPs it would be a “dereliction of duty” not to seek deeper partnership with the EU but said the British public will be the “boss” at every stage of renegotiating the relationship. “If we are serious about promoting growth, controlling immigration, upholding our values and security, it is a conversation we must have,” he said. #Scotland #news #uk #politics
