Starmer’s new envoy wants to see Britain ‘reconnected on the world stage’
British and EU politicians and officials would regularly get back in the room together on a scale not seen since Brexit negotiations, under plans by Sir Keir Starmer’s government to reset relations. Nick Thomas-Symonds, Starmer’s EU ministerial envoy, said Britain wanted “structured dialogue to happen as soon as possible” to build closer ties on a wide range of issues including security, trade and migration.
The EU Relations minister said he had been “pleased with the constructive response” to Britain’s overtures and suggested he would look to go beyond Labour’s manifesto if it was in the national interest. “We do have that framework, but I do believe we can be ambitious about this reset,” he said, while insisting the red lines — identical to the ones adopted by Boris Johnson in his “hard Brexit” deal — would remain in place.
