"EU chief Ursula von der Leyen told the Munich Security Conference that Europe and Britain need to to cooperate more closely on "security, on economy.. on defending our democracies".

""We are not at a crossroads: The road ahead is straight and it is clear. We must build our hard power, because that is the currency of the age," he said. "We must be able to deter aggression and, yes, if necessary, we must be ready to fight," he said, calling for a building of "a shared industrial base across Europe which can turbocharge our defence production" and "multiply our strengths"."

Ten years after the Brexit referendum, Britain and the European Union face an increasingly unstable world and must close ranks. Europe and the UK need closer cooperation on security, the economy, and defending democracies. The UK and Europe should come closer together because their futures remain bound. The focus must be on building hard power to deter aggression and, if necessary, to be ready to fight. Establishing a shared industrial base across Europe can turbocharge defence production and multiply strengths. A strong Europe within a strong NATO will reinforce the transatlantic bond and develop its own security architecture.
