Early in 2025, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been invited to an informal summit of EU leaders, marking a significant thaw in EU-UK relations since Brexit.
The backdrop to this potential renewal of ties includes the ongoing instability due to wars in the Middle East and Europe, emphasizing the urgent need for co-operation.

Mark Leonard stresses that many of the new Labour government’s priorities, from economy to defence, have a crucial European component, heightening the importance of EU relations.
