The new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and Foreign Secretary David Lammy are making significant moves to improve relations and trade agreements with the European Union, following a period of strained ties post-Brexit. Starmer is embarking on a tour across the UK, aiming for an 'immediate reset' with the governments of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales, while also seeking to mend and enhance the trade deal with the EU, which he has described as 'botched'. Lammy has expressed a commitment to developing an ambitious new relationship with the EU, emphasizing the importance of better trading and security relationships. This push for closer ties comes after Labour's recent electoral victory and is seen as a pivotal moment for the UK's foreign policy and economic strategy moving forward. Additionally, the UK's support for Ukraine has been reaffirmed, signaling a broader intent to solidify its role and relationships within Europe.
It's about time we prioritize rebuilding our relationship with the EU to ensure a stronger, more secure future for the UK; Starmer's approach is exactly what we need after the chaos of Brexit.
