Andy Burnham says rejoining the EU is among options the government could look at - telling the BBC the current Brexit settlement has caused “more harm than good”.

It goes both ways, but obviously the UK needs the EU more than the other way around. It would be very arrogant to think otherwise; just pull the stats.
True.
One of the talking points during Brexit was how UK paid more to EU than they received. Seems logical, big country, much economy. Many people voted because of that argument. Turns out to be false.
A cost benefit analysis shows that UK received up to 6 times more from EU than the cost.
As a EU citizen, I’d be happy to have them join again, because I believe that the benefits of EU come from cooperation between nations rather than any particular group paying for the other. They can even keep their currency and stupid passport, but they can forget about the previous privileged terms with selective opt-in.
