Keir Starmer tells ministers he is “in it to win it,” as the European Union delays setting a date for discussions on what his government calls a “Brexit reset.” According to diplomatic sources cited by the Daily Mail, the European Commission is reluctant to schedule talks because of uncertainty over whether Starmer will remain prime minister. The reporting suggests the Commission’s internal decision-making is influenced by doubts about the UK leadership’s stability rather than by the content of the proposed reset itself.
The Daily Mail links Starmer’s internal remarks about wanting to stay in the leadership fight with the EU’s lack of progress in scheduling a date. The article does not provide additional evidence of any formal EU decision, a specific timeline, or details of what the “Brexit reset” would cover. It focuses on the interaction between EU scheduling and perceived political risk in the UK. The overall picture presented is one of stalled diplomacy, with the next steps dependent on both the UK government’s political outlook and the EU’s willingness to move forward.
