Britain and Europe, eight years after Brexit vote: Could UK election reset ties with EU?

TALKING EUROPE © FRANCE 24

It's been almost exactly eight years since British voters decided to leave the European Union, although that decision did not become active until December 2020. Much of this last decade has been marked by a turbulent relationship between the UK's ruling Conservatives and the EU. The opposition Labour Party looks poised to win back power in the July 4 election, but are pro-Europeans' hopes of a much closer relationship misplaced? Our guests argue that Labour leader Keir Starmer’s room for manoeuvre would be very limited if he sticks with the current UK-EU agreement.

Programme produced by Sophie Samaille, Isabelle Romero, Elitsa Gadeva and Anaïs Boucher
