’Brexit reset’ at Labour party conference

Brexit has quietly resurfaced at the Labour Party conference, with Keir Starmer’s 'Brexit reset' plans taking centre stage. EU officials, alongside representatives from key European nations like Germany and France, have attended to explore potential new security and trade agreements. Central to these discussions is the EU’s push for a youth mobility scheme, allowing Europeans under 30 to live and work in the UK for up to four years. While Starmer has advocated stricter immigration controls, the EU is reportedly willing to compromise, offering shorter stays of two to three years to facilitate negotiations. Labour’s manifesto included proposals for a security and defence pact, a veterinary agreement to ease food and farming trade, and mutual recognition of professional qualifications. However, concerns remain over whether Labour has clearly defined objectives for the negotiations. The talks come amid broader tensions, with Labour’s grassroots pro-EU movement pushing for more engagement with Europe.
