Keir Starmer ‘confident’ of securing UK-EU deal to reset relations

1. ***From The Times:***

   Sir Keir Starmer will appeal to European leaders to get his Brexit reset over the line amid last-minute rows over fishing rights, youth mobility and defence.

   The prime minister will hold a series of bilateral meetings with senior European figures at a summit in Tirana, Albania, on Friday as he tries to see off eleventh-hour demands from Brussels for concessions.

   The prime minister said he was “confident” that Britain would reach a deal before meeting with EU leaders on Monday, but senior government figures said he would not sign an agreement that was “not in the national interest”.

   “We will not be pushed around,” they added.

   Starmer is expected to use talks on the sidelines of the meeting to push back on fresh demands from Brussels for concessions in several key areas of the reset, including fishing and youth mobility

2. While conceding across the board and getting peanuts back

3. Feel sorry for the UK, they’re losing everything out there……..and even the PM doesn’t last long

4. The EU is really hurting its credibility as a rival to American power here.

   They are stalling on a much needed defense pact until britian gives them everything they want in perpetuity. Trump has already given britian a favorable deal. In this case it’s the eu acting like a coercive power instead of the US.

   This is definitely going to push britian deeper into the American sphere and damage any cross channel cooperation going forward.

   What will the 3rd world think when they have to make a decision between the America and the EU, do I pick the economy that’s larger and will give me better terms or the bloc that’s smaller and will squeeze me for every penny.

   The eu had a chance to sell themselves as a strong alternative, they have squandered it.

5. #BRIT-IN.

6. The uk needs to reach out to Europe as the “special relationship” the uk had with the USA is now dead.
