The Labour leader said shared interests including future ‘prosperity and security’ were discussed.
Sir Keir Starmer has described his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron as “constructive and positive” amid expert warnings his vision for a closer partnership with the EU would likely face challenges if he wins power.
“It was my first opportunity to say how much I value the relationship between our two countries, particularly when it comes to prosperity and security and how, if we are privileged enough to be elected into power, we intend to build on that relationship and make it even stronger than it is today.” Sir Keir indicated in an interview with the Financial Times that he would seek to use a reassessment of the agreement in two years to try to get “a much better deal” for the UK.
But it adds that any new negotiations would potentially be lengthy and complex, and that time-consuming domestic issues such as the economy and the NHS are likely to leave “limited bandwidth” for a major reassessment. In its report, UKICE says Labour would need to set out a “much more detailed plan to demonstrate it is a serious negotiating partner with a realistic grasp of the issues at hand” and refine its “long list of ideas” into a more coherent set of goals.
