🔄 Rejoin

Andy Burnham told the Labour conference that rejoining the European Union is among the options for the country's future, suggesting he could go all the way in reversing the 2016 vote. The Prime Minister's speech was received by his party as a barnstormer; the electorate, having been promised a period of quiet after the Brexit years, may find the prospect of reopening the file less of a thrill. Manchester City has been found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules over a period of nine years. Investigators spent years unpicking a web of inflated sponsorship income that allowed the club to spend #1.2bn on transfers. Having dominated the pitch, the club now faces a struggle to protect its trophies from the inevitable asterisk of an integrity crisis. A major security alert near RAF Fairford has taken a turn for the strange after it emerged one of the suspects called the police on himself. Five men were arrested after a quantity of petrol was found in vans; police are now trying to determine if they were interrupted during a dry run for a plot or a simple attempt to steal fuel.
