Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast reported that Andy Burnham had said he wanted the UK to rejoin the EU in his lifetime, while ruling it out within this parliament. Stella Creasy said she wanted the question of Britain's relationship with Europe put to the British people again, arguing that the Europe the UK left no longer exists and that Brexit had created paperwork and affected security cooperation. Craig Oliver described Burnham's intervention as politically astute and aimed at pressuring Kemi Badenoch and the Conservatives, but said a referendum was unlikely soon; he discussed whether freedom of movement or single-market membership would require one and said any such vote would be bitter and difficult.
In the sports coverage, Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick's future was said to hang in the balance after a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth left the side eight games without a win and a point above the relegation zone. Gary Neville was reported to have accused squad members of downing tools and lacking professionalism. Journalist Michael Crick said the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe were primarily to blame, described Carrick as out of his depth while sympathising with him, criticised recruitment and player character, and said he would choose Antonio Conte as manager.

and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the businessman who's better known, I suppose, for building up and running INEOS, who already owns a couple of clubs in Europe. Between them, they just, you know, they own the club and it's a complete shambles and there are people in other managerial positions. Now, Carrick, I think, is really out of his depth
