Watch as Sir Keir Starmer spoke in Brussels on Wednesday, 2 October, to kick off his bid to reset Britain’s relationship with the European Union.
Downing Street said the prime minister travelled to Belgium to “continue his drive to improve the UK’s relationship with the European Union to bolster the security, safety and prosperity of the British people.”
Sir Keir’s trip to Brussels comes amid growing pressure for him to agree to a youth mobility scheme to allow people aged 30 and under to travel more freely between Britain and the EU.
European leaders are reportedly keen to not make it easy for Sir Keir and will hold demands; including long-term fishing access to British waters and a new migrant deal requiring Britain to accept an agreed number of asylum seekers from the continent.
