British Opposition Leader Starmer Meets EU Officials in Brussels for Talks on Resetting Relations

ai generated text

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, marking his first bilateral meeting with the EU. Starmer has stated that his government will not renegotiate the Brexit deal, but rather seek to "tweak" the relationship in various areas. However, EU leaders are reportedly demanding concessions from the UK in exchange for a "reset" of the relationship, specifically on issues such as migration, fishing, and youth mobility. This suggests that while Starmer may be seeking a more "pragmatic and mature" relationship with the EU, the EU is likely to push for significant changes from the UK side.

    1. We should explore the scope for more cooperation while we focus on the full and faithful implementation of the withdrawal agreement.

    1. I firmly believe that the British public wants a return to pragmatic, sensible leadership when it comes to dealing with our closest neighbours.
    2. We are determined to put this relationship back on a stable, positive footing that I think we all want to see.
    3. The UK is undeniably stronger when it works in lockstep with its closest international partners.

    1. There is a sense of apprehension that nice talk is all there is, and when it comes to the substance either the Labour party isn't really willing to do anything or doesn't know what it wants. A lot of people are looking at this meeting to see if there's any meat in the sandwich.
