Keir Starmer attended an Arsenal match amid concerns over a faltering economy, public debt, and global insecurity intensified by Donald Trump's presidency. While he aims to reset Britain's relationship with the EU post-Brexit, his initial strategy included sticking to certain constraints regarding market access and immigration.
