Britain voted to take back control, and now the PM has to ask for it back. Brexit: the longest return window in retail history.
The word doing all the work in that headline is "rejecting," which frames skepticism as negligence before anyone has seen the deal. Burnham may well have a good case on immigration cooperation and growth, but "dereliction of duty" is the language of someone who would rather win the vote than argue for it.

Calling closer EU ties a duty sets a high bar, but the case should turn on what the deal actually delivers. If it can support growth and cooperation on illegal immigration, MPs should weigh that on the merits instead of treating any closer relationship as a surrender of sovereignty. And a speech expected in the Commons is still only an opening argument, not evidence that a workable agreement is in reach.
MPs ought to judge the deal by what it delivers, sure, but don't dress closer EU ties up as the cure for illegal immigration. Britain gave up sovereignty once already and got plenty of promises for it. Make them show the terms before calling rejection a dereliction.
