Next UK-EU Summit Should ‘Go Further’, Says Starmer Ahead of Talks
Starmer aims to deepen single market ties and pursue a youth mobility scheme while rejecting customs union reentry to protect post-Brexit trade deals, ahead of upcoming UK-EU summits.
- Ahead of talks, Sir Keir Starmer said each UK‑EU summit should `go further` and deliver new agreements, emphasizing the need for an iterative relationship.
- With ministers preparing talks next week, Starmer told reporters he wants each UK‑EU summit to 'go further' and progress on deals, during his trip to China.

- Talks to join the EU's 150 billion euro SAFE rearmament fund broke down last year over the price, but Starmer says exploring schemes like SAFE makes sense.
