## Resource

Keir Starmer’s resignation stirs unease in Germany, where he was seen as a reliable partner on Ukraine and EU relations post-Brexit. Ten years after the UK’s departure, the fallout still lingers: trade has slipped, ties have frayed, and Germany lost a key ally. Yet, progress persists—new defense pacts and King Charles’s parliamentary speech are helping mend fences. With Starmer’s likely successor Andy Burnham, known for his pro-EU stance and regional diplomacy, both nations may find common ground, even if another EU referendum remains off the table.
