Starmer to attend UK-EU summit on July 22
Sir Keir Starmer confirmed a second UK-EU summit in Brussels on July 22 as his Labour government seeks to reset relations nearly ten years after the 2016 referendum in which 17.4 million people voted to leave. The summit is framed as a chance to coordinate on security, resilience, the cost of living, jobs and opportunities for young people, and was welcomed by European Council president Antonio Costa. The announcement has drawn criticism from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, and prompted a Daily Express campaign calling for a "proper Brexit".
The UK and EU will hold a second summit in Brussels on July 22.
