Starmer invited to meet EU leaders in Brexit 'reset' fillip

It will be the first time a British prime minister has been asked to attend such a gathering since the UK's exit from the European Union in 2020. And it will be seen as an early win for Sir Keir’s plans to improve the UK’s damaged relationship with the bloc in the wake of Brexit.

The event will see EU leaders meet to discuss European security at an informal retreat in Belgium on 3 February. The PM will be asked to dine with the leaders of the 27 member states by António Costa, the incoming president of the European Council, two EU officials told the Financial Times.
