Keir Starmer pushes for closer EU ties with fresh UK-France defence agreement


Keir Starmer’s new Labour Government is pushing to “reset” relations with the EU beginning with a fresh defence agreement between the UK and France.

He added that the fresh push was “exactly what we said before the election, that we would be a government that would reset Britain’s relations with Europe and especially with the leading European nations”.
