Last week, a self-described “influential think tank” advised that the “UK must seek EU membership to protect our prosperity, security and democracy”.
In a press release about its new report, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said that “becoming a member of the EU should be the UK’s medium goal” and that “the EU that Britain would join today is fundamentally different from the one it left.”
The report gained traction in a number of publications such as The i Paper, Guardian and New Statesman, with the latter suggesting that “Andy Burnham now has a blueprint to rejoin the EU”.
