Keir Starmer hails ‘win-win’ EU deal despite fishing climbdown
- On Monday 19 May 2025 in London, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a new UK-EU post-Brexit deal at a summit in Downing Street's garden.
- The agreement followed reset talks aiming to improve relations despite criticisms over granting EU fishing trawlers an additional 12 years' access and accepting dynamic regulatory alignment.
- The deal includes linking UK and EU emissions trading schemes, restored trade in British meat, eased checks on plants and animals, a youth exchange scheme, and protection for British steel exports.
- Sir Keir described the deal as a “win-win” that will add £9 billion to the UK economy by 2040, while critics warned it risks making Britain a rule-taker and sacrificing fishing rights.
- The agreement signals a new era of UK-EU cooperation but has drawn backlash from Conservatives, Brexit campaigners, and fishing communities concerned about sovereignty and industry impact.
