A new deal with the EU is exactly what Britain needs. Here’s how Labour will achieve it | Nick Thomas-Symonds
toAbour is designed to negotiate a new partnership with the European Union. The benefits that can be opened clear – reducing barriers to trade, pushing economic growth and maintaining our safety in an increasingly dangerous world. It is the reasonable and practical thing to do. We want to put more money in the pockets of workers and provide Britain with stability and long -term security; We will not be defined through discussions and arguments in the past.
We are equally confident in what the UK can offer in return. It is a political stable country, and the government has a great mandate, with more than four years remaining to present our policies. This stability has already inspired companies’ confidence Throughout the world, tens of billions of pounds have opened in the long run. This month, Universal announced an investment of billions of pounds for A new entertainment parkIt is expected to create 28,000 jobs. We have shown that Britain has returned to the world theater, and that it has a lot to advance.
The events of recent weeks have seen that the United Kingdom as well as its European partners and play a leading role in the global response of a series of historical events. Russia’s aggression in Ukraine continues to demand greatly In response from Europe. I have witnessed that European countries are gathering in defense of our continent, and they go beyond ever in defensive spending to keep Ukraine in the struggle as long as it takes. I am proud that the United Kingdom has contributed 15 billion pounds to support Ukrainian sovereignty.
The work is increasing to face challenges in this new era of global instability. The money has been pumped into defense, restoring the first budget for economic stability. The government needs to work with Britain’s allies on solutions that will reduce the impact of these global shocks. Today, Care Starmer is Hosting Ursula von der Lin In Downing Street. They will discuss how countries can work together to provide energy security, as well as progress that has made strengthening the relationship of the United Kingdom and the European Union since the elections.
Their meeting is a clear example of global leaders who work together on issues of interest to people – such as UkraineEnergy Security and Global Economy. It will also be an opportunity to assess the progress made in our negotiations to get a better deal with the European Union, and to ensure that the teams meet our aspirations – to develop the economy, increase living standards and maintain the safety of the United Kingdom – When we started this work last October.
Follow -up to a new partnership with the European Union revolves around meeting the needs of our time. This is not related to ideology or a return to the sections of the past, but about harsh pragmatism and what works in the national interest. For me, this means working with our European Union allies to make people across the continent safer, safer and more prosperous. The European Union is our largest commercial partner and this government is determined to work to reduce barriers that prevent trade through the economy to help increase growth. Only last week, for example, we saw the main retailers like Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Morrison, Lidl and OCADO Support the government’s goal To negotiate an agreement on the application of health measures and vegetarian health (SPS) with the European Union, to reduce paperwork and checks, facilitating commercial work.
When it comes to security, NATO is the cornerstone of our defense. Now it is the right time for us to unite through our continent to ensure the best result of Ukraine, protect European security and secure our collective future. In the United Kingdom, we rise, and I know that European countries do the same. This year we expect the United Kingdom to provide 4.5 billion pounds to support Ukraine, more than any previous year. But there is more UK and the European Union that can do together to upgrade this moment.
We are also determined to maintain our streets. As part of our plan to do this, we have already increased the UK’s presence in Europol to address the cross -border crime, such as traces of human trafficking and drug trafficking. I want us to go further to work with our partners around the continent to break the criminal gangs that operate all over Europe and smuggle smuggling to the United Kingdom.
All of this will be framed through the very clear red lines that we put in the elections. We will not return to the arguments of the past: there will be no return to the unified market, customs union, or freedom of movement. We will only agree on the European Union deal that meets the needs of the British people and respects the outcome of the 2016 referendum. By doing this, we will take opportunities for us to provide a better future.
