Marking Five Years of Brexit

The podcast reflects on the five-year anniversary of the UK's departure from the European Union, highlighting significant developments in UK-EU relations. Keir Starmer's upcoming attendance at a European Council dinner in Brussels is framed as a symbolic opportunity to reset the relationship, focusing on defense and security discussions. While Starmer aims to reassure European leaders of the UK’s commitment to collaboration, the EU regards this 'reset' as limited in scope, acknowledging prior negotiations during Rishi Sunak's tenure. The podcast suggests that although expectations for immediate breakthroughs are low, this moment could pave the way for gradual improvements in the post-Brexit landscape.
