## Resource

The UKs potential rejoining of the EU would mean no special treatment, according to former EU Brexit officials. They suggest a hard-headed welcome, with membership on standard terms only. UK politicians like Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham have floated the idea, sparking debates. EU officials warn against reopening the door to British exceptionalism, emphasizing the need for a clear, lasting national agreement. Polands foreign minister also stresses that the UK must understand the need to pool sovereignty for more benefits. The EU is ready to engage seriously if theres a solid consensus in the UK, but that consensus doesnt seem to be fully there yet.
