UK and EU in last-minute deal talks ahead of summit
- On Monday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted a landmark gathering of UK and EU leaders in London to negotiate a comprehensive post-Brexit agreement addressing trade, security, and ongoing cooperation.
- Negotiations proceeded until the last moment due to disputes over fishing rights, youth mobility, and alignment with EU rules, with no deal confirmed before the summit.
- The proposed agreement includes British access to a £125 billion EU defence fund, a reciprocal youth mobility scheme, and simplified trade procedures to reduce red tape.
- Nick Thomas-Symonds emphasized a practical, job-focused approach driven by 'ruthless pragmatism,' while critics like Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage condemned the deal as a 'surrender'.
- The summit and deal signal a strategic reset in UK-EU relations, aiming to strengthen economic ties and security partnerships despite domestic controversy and remaining uncertainties.
