The Daily Mail reported that Lord Cameron told the prime minister to stop blaming Brexit for economic problems in the United Kingdom. Lord Cameron led the Remain campaign in the 2016 referendum and admitted he was desperately disappointed when British voters chose to leave the European Union, according to the Daily Mail. [1][13]

The Irish Times reported that Prime Minister Andy Burnham is travelling to Dublin to join around 50 heads of government for the European Political Community summit. The visit comes four months after he took office as prime minister, following a flight from Turkey, according to the outlet. [4][12]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, former Chancellor Rachel Reeves argued that the United Kingdom should rejoin the European Union, while Prime Minister Andy Burnham previously called for an honest discussion regarding the nation's future relationship with Europe. [15]
