UK Officials Explore Return to EU Free Movement Ahead of November Summit, Says Business Secretary

British officials have begun talks with the EU about a long-term relationship that could include a return to free movement, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds revealed. He said the focus for the November summit is an agreement to ease trading restrictions and a youth mobility deal, but discussions will also cover 'future options for relationship.' Reynolds stressed that the British people 'are the boss' when it comes to what the UK will accept, and noted that Prime Minister Andy Burnham wants a long-term and stable relationship with the bloc. The move signals a potential shift in post-Brexit policy as the UK seeks closer ties with the EU.
