Keir Starmer resets EU ties

The bill would grant ministers powers to automatically align the UK with evolving EU regulations deemed to be in the national interest.

Starmer argues that a stronger, closer relationship with Europe is vital for economic survival and stability amid global energy shocks.

Critics have labeled the move as 'integration by stealth' and a subversion of parliamentary sovereignty.

The government also confirmed it will not support the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, prioritizing diplomatic efforts to keep the waterway open.
