US Edition'Bring It on': U.K.'s Labour Readies for EU Reset Fight
The bill aims to ease trade red tape and integrate UK energy markets with the EU, potentially adding £9 billion to the UK economy by 2040, officials said.
- After last year’s election, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour is preparing a bill to reset UK-EU ties, aiming to introduce it this spring or summer.
- Last year, Starmer struck agreements easing red tape on food and plant exports and pursued internal electricity market integration to lower costs and revive the economy amid British public regret over Brexit.
- Thirteen MPs recently backed a Liberal Democrat bill to begin customs-union talks, illustrating cross-party pressure, while MP Jonathan Hinder said `We said we wouldn't re-open the Brexit debate and now we are doing exactly that`.
- The proposal risks opening divisions within Labour, with some ministers wary of bold moves as right-wing Conservatives and Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, prepare fierce opposition.
- A UK government spokesperson estimated the reset's value at �9.0 billion to 2040, framing the economic case, while Ian Bond, deputy director at the Centre for European Reform, said impact depends on government latitude.
