MPs say Starmer’s UK-EU reset lacks ‘direction, definition and drive’
AI Summary
A UK parliamentary foreign affairs committee report states that Keir Starmer's efforts to reset the UK-EU relationship lack "direction, definition, and drive," despite initial progress after a summit last May. The report, based on expert testimony, finds the UK lacks clear strategic priorities, hindering concrete progress compared to the EU. The committee urges the government to provide a clear vision and goals for future negotiations, warning of repeated mistakes. While a deal on Erasmus has been announced, key areas remain off the table, and the EU's changing demands, such as financial contributions and the cost of security initiatives, are criticized. The report welcomes the UK-EU security partnership but calls for greater and faster cooperation.
