Look forward, not back': UK keen for closer trade ties with EU, says Starmer
Briefly

Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, emphasizes the need for a closer partnership with the EU following Brexit, as the public shifts focus towards economic recovery. Ahead of a UK-EU summit, Starmer outlined plans to align food standards, enhance law enforcement collaboration, and support youth mobility schemes. His ambition is to redefine the UK-EU relationship amidst concerns over electoral pressures from parties like Reform UK. He believes that the public is ready to embrace benefits from a renewed relationship with the EU, focusing on economic and security implications.
I'm ambitious about what we can achieve there. I want a closer relationship on security, on defence, on trade and on the economy. The mindset is important and this is, I think, a shared approach. Let's look forward, not back.
I think so. Because I think people are focused on how we get the economy moving. How do I feel better off? How do we get more money into our public services and how do we protect my job?
