Andy Burnham feared Brexit. Soon he may have to fix it.
The EU-UK summit has been postponed after Keir Starmer's resignation, and it has been revealed that Prince Andrew was appointed trade envoy without proper vetting.
Following the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, several significant changes are unfolding in the UK political landscape. One immediate consequence is the postponement of the EU-UK summit, originally scheduled for July 22. The summit was meant to conclude negotiations on an agrifood agreement, an emissions trading deal, and a youth mobility scheme. The postponement raises questions about the future of bilateral relations.
Additionally, released documents reveal that former Prince Andrew, also known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was appointed as a special trade representative in 2021 without prior proper vetting. The documents were made public on Thursday.
Furthermore, the issue of Brexit is already dominating the race to replace Starmer as Labour leader. The key contenders are actively expressing their views on the UK's future relationship with the European Union, which will become a central issue in the leadership campaign.
