Keir Starmer insists EU 'reset' does not mean 'reversing Brexit'
Sir Keir Starmer insisted he was not “reversing Brexit” as he set out plans for a new treaty with Germany as part of a wider “reset” of relations with the European Union.
The Prime Minister, who agreed that a deal with Germany would be in place by the end of the year following talks with counterpart Olaf Scholz, said it was a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity.
Mr Scholz said the UK and Germany were “good friends, close partners and trusted allies” as Sir Keir promised a “bright new future” for the countries’ relationship.
Sir Keir said the new UK-Germany treaty would result in “deeper links on science, technology, development, people, business, culture” and “a boost to our trading relations”.
A new defence agreement will build on the “already formidable” co-operation between the two countries, Sir Keir said.
He said the treaty was a “once-in-a-generation chance to deliver for working people in Britain and in Germany”.
“Britain can advance its interests much more effectively when we work with friends and partners.
“This treaty is part of a wider reset, grounded in a new spirit of cooperation with our shared understanding that this will be developed at pace, and that we hope to have agreed it by the end of the year.”
The two countries also agreed to develop a “joint action plan to tackle illegal migration”.
