London (Eurotoday) – UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that he is “determined” to lower barriers to trade with the European Union, saying that a better association with European business partners will benefit UK citizens.
In a session in Parliament, Prime Minister Keir Starmer restated his intentions to reduce trade barriers with the European Union.
According to him, promoting a better relationship between European business partners and Britain is crucial for benefiting citizens. He said strengthening trade ties will enhance economic growth and make it easier for the country to compete with others globally.
The PM said it is necessary to cooperate with European allies to revitalise a larger strategy for the UK economy post-Brexit, to let British businesses thrive and compete effectively in this interconnected world.
What was Starmer’s message during his visit to Brussels?
Earlier, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, visiting Brussels on 3 February 2025, put a significant message across; indeed, at that time of upsurge danger, notably Russian, nations from Europe had an urgent need for unity among all European states and the European commitment to more co-responsibility for each individual’s security on their respective homeland.
Starmer said he had visited Kyiv recently, having seen with his own eyes the devastating effects of the war in Ukraine. He reinforced his belief that strength and support for the defence of Ukraine would bring peace.
He also discussed the need for a robust UK-EU security partnership, focusing on military technology, research and development, and improving the mobility of forces across Europe.

Looks like Starmer’s ready to roll out the red carpet for our EU chums—because nothing says “post-Brexit independence” like begging for trade deals. 😂 Guess we’ll be downing pints together soon, eh? 🍻
-
Oh, how charming—Starmer’s decided to put on his best Eurodance moves and tango with our old pals in the EU. Next thing you know, he’ll be proposing a joint baking competition to sweeten the deal! 🍰🚕

Just what we need, more “determination” from the PM—because nothing says “we’re back in business” like reducing trade barriers after we spent years building them like a proper fortress. 🏰 Maybe next, he’ll promise us free croissants with our tea! 😏
-
Isn’t it just adorable how Starmer thinks we can butter our bread with the EU again? Maybe next he’ll suggest we all wear matching berets and start singing ‘We Are the Champions’ at trade meetings. 😂🥖

Oh, brilliant! Just what we needed—another politician promising to be “determined” about trade with the EU. Maybe next, he can work on reducing the barriers to understanding how Brexit happened in the first place! 😂🍷

Trump Faces Criticism Over Proposal to Evacuate Gaza and Reshape Its Future
Trump has just proposed to take over Gaza, transfer its denizens to Arab states, and convert it into a scintillating Riviera.
I never support ethnic cleansing.
But the facts are important here: only 30% of the population of Gaza is local. More than 70% are refugees from the erstwhile territory of Palestine (now the State of Israel).
Both Israel and Egypt regard Gaza as a serious security threa

Badenoch fiercely criticized the agreement, describing it as an “immoral surrender” designed for “north London lawyers to boast at their dinner parties.” The anti-lawyer sentiment remains a recurring theme…
