Starmer calls for 'reset'

THE Prime Minister said he was seeking an "immediate reset" of the relationship between the Westminster Government and devolved nations as he embarked on a tour of all four corners of Britain.

Sir Keir Starmer insisted "respect" would be the key ingredient in the bond between the new UK administration and its Irish, Scottish and Welsh counterparts.

His first visit was to Edinburgh yesterday, when the PM was due to say he wanted to "turn disagreement into co-operation" with the SNP north of the border.

"People across the United Kingdom are bound by shared beliefs.

Fundamental values of respect, service and community which define us as a great nation," Sir Keir said.

"That begins today with an immediate reset of my government's approach to working with the First and Deputy First Ministers, because meaningful co-operation centred on respect will be key to delivering change across our United Kingdom.
