EU deal to boost economy and cut red tape - Starmer

May 20, 2025

SIR Keir Starmer's government has claimed his post-Brexit "reset" will cut red tape for travellers and businesses, boosting the economy by £9 billion by 2040.

Under the deal struck with Brussels, more tourists will be able to use e-gates at airports in Europe, pet passports will be introduced for UK cats and dogs and businesses can sell burgers and sausages into the bloc again.

But the Prime Minister faced accusations of betraying Brexit over the extension of fishing rights for European vessels for a further 12 years and closer ties to EU rules.

Sir Keir met European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and European Council president Antonio Costa at a summit in Lancaster House, London, to seal the deal.

The Prime Minister said: "It's time to look forward. To move on from the stale old debates and political fights to find common sense, practical solutions which get the best for the British people.
