The Guardian publishes an article by Chris Ward, co-author of Labour's 2024 manifesto Brexit red lines, who argues they deserve a "dignified retirement" because the UK "could no longer rely on the Americans" and closer EU ties would guard against security threats. He recommends public debate on rejoining the EU or associate membership, and predicts a reset deal, a youth mobility scheme, and the return of Erasmus+ will pass at the UK-EU summit, with Andy Burnham meeting European leaders in Dublin.
