Can Brexit Be Reset? Keir Starmer and the EU

Sep 27, 2024 | Federal Trust Chair John Stevens argues that Sir Keir Starmer will find it difficult to secure any meaningful "reset" in relations between the EU and UK. Starmer is, according to John Stevens, excessively concerned with appeasing the anti-European element of traditional Labour voters. He should confront rather than try to appease such sentiments.
