Summary
A decade after the Brexit vote, UK-EU relations are improving with both sides seeking closer cooperation on trade, defense, and mobility. However, political instability in Westminster — marked by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation and the rise of a Eurosceptic successor — threatens to derail the "reset" efforts. Growing public support for closer European ties is colliding with persistent political constraints within the UK government.
