Brussels: Critics say Britain shouldn’t surrender in Brexit talks with the EU. They worry about PM Keir Starmer’s plans to reset relations.
Starmer is meeting leaders from 27 EU nations tonight. Some fear he might compromise key issues.
Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, has outlined five tests to check if Starmer is backtracking on important topics like fishing rights.
Andrew Griffith, a Shadow Cabinet Minister, warned Starmer against making concessions in Brussels. He believes the UK has better opportunities in Washington, D.C.
Starmer aims to discuss a defense and security pact with EU leaders. However, he may need to make some concessions.
His proposals will be part of a larger deal, which may include fishing rights and mobility for young Europeans.
Both sides hope to outline a deal by May. Starmer stated he wants a reset with the EU but insists it won’t mean rejoining.
He emphasized the need for closer ties in defense, security, trade, and energy.
Meanwhile, the PM met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at Chequers. He praised their discussions, noting they made significant progress.
