Sir Keir Starmer said work has already begun to build closer ties with the European Union following Labour’s landslide election win.
The Prime Minister said he wanted better trading and security relationships with Brussels as he vowed to rip up the “botched” deal struck by Boris Johnson.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy has already travelled to Europe for talks with key players, with a promise that the UK would be a “good neighbour” after the years of Brexit acrimony.
Speaking to reporters in Edinburgh, Sir Keir said: “We intend to improve our relationship with the EU and that means closer trading ties with the EU, it means closer ties in relation to research and development and closer ties in relation to defence and security."
Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Conservative commentator Charlie Rowley to discuss the prime minister's first days in office.
