Burnham commits to Starmer’s EU red lines in blow to rejoin hopes
But a Downing Street spokesperson insisted on Monday that the red lines are still in place despite Mr Burnham making it clear that he wants to be “bolder” than his predecessor in taking the UK back to the heart of Europe.
The spokesperson said: “We remain committed to the red lines set out in the manifesto. We’re not rejoining the European Union, and there will be no return to the customs union, the single market, or freedom of movement.”
They added: “We want to build an ambitious and close relationship with the EU that will strengthen our economy and unlock great in every postcode, and the prime minister remains committed to that agenda.”
I don't know what "unlock great in every postcode" in the last sentence means unfortunately. Maybe it's a jargon glitch or maybe AI in No.10 North cobbled it together and the meaning is already beyond human understanding.

No doubt it'll grate in every postcode.
P.S. "Red lines" always makes me think of a toddler drawing on his plate using tomato ketchup.
dearieme - ha ha - it's Burnham the Grate.
Toddlers drawing in tomato ketchup sounds like a TV ad, but I can't bring it to mind.
"unlock great in every postcode" = 'deliver excellence with every pronouncement"
Mike - they seem to think it's the same thing, like abracadabra.
