## Resource

Keir Starmer is pushing hard for a major EU summit this summer to deepen UK-EU ties, but with the date still uncertain and internal party rivals stirring up trouble, the path ahead is fraught with political and diplomatic hurdles. While agreements on agrifoods and youth visas are expected, Starmer’s team remains vague on which sectors they’ll align with — and they’re firm on no customs union or free movement. The EU has already rejected a goods-only single market deal, and British lawmakers are growing impatient with lackluster details. With EU officials skeptical and the UK’s red lines unchanged, this summit could either pave the way for progress — or expose deepening rifts.
