It is a relief to watch Starmer having such positive talks with other world leaders , especially Macron, rather than the swords at dawn type of dialogue that the present government seems to delight to indulge in, although Sunak has been trying hard lately, his issue is that other world leaders don’t trust him, to the extent that he has been cold shouldered by Biden, and other world leaders over his stupid and muddled climate policy, and of course Brexit has left the majority of the world astounded at such a self-harming decision.
I am hoping that Starmer will be able to negotiate a softer Brexit, than the ridiculous one we have at the moment, and I get the impression that ha is working towards just that with visits to The Hague and discussions on closer working regarding defence, interpol etc. All that will stand us in good stead when we begin to negotiate in 2025.
