Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of “betraying” Brexit as he seeks to tighten links between the UK and the EU. <\/p>\n
The Government is set to host EU leaders in London next week as part of its efforts to “reset” relations after Brexit.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest a deal on British access to a major EU defence fund could be on the table but arguments over fishing rights and a youth mobility scheme may provide stumbling blocks to an agreement.<\/p>\n
The Labour leader appeared to signal that a youth mobility deal could be possible, telling The Times that while freedom of movement was a “red line” in talks, “youth mobility is not freedom of movement,”<\/p>\n
Kaja Kallas, the EU\u2019s high representative for foreign affairs, said on Friday that work was progressing on a defence deal but that “we\u2019re not there yet.”<\/p>\n
Starmer met European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen later that day on the margins of the European Political Community summit in Albania.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister has repeatedly declined to give a “running commentary” on the talks or engage in what he described as “megaphone diplomacy” with the EU.<\/p>\n
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: “Labour should have used this review of our EU trade deal to secure new wins for Britain, such as an EU-wide agreement on Brits using e-gates on the continent.<\/p>\n
“Instead, it sounds like we\u2019re giving away our fishing quotas, becoming a rule-taker from Brussels once again and getting free movement by the back door. This isn\u2019t a reset, it\u2019s a surrender.”<\/p>\n
With that in mind, are you concerned Brexit is being betrayed?<\/p>\n
