Keir Starmer embraces Brexit divisions as he seeks closer EU ties

Sir Keir Starmer has reiterated his desire for a closer relationship with the EU, incorporating this into his 2024 election platform. The UK government is negotiating agreements with the EU on food standards, carbon emissions, and electricity, while seeking 'dynamic alignment' with EU rules. This approach has drawn criticism from Conservatives and Reform UK, who argue it betrays the 2016 Brexit referendum.
