Why is the government being accused of a Brexit U-turn?
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
A decade on, you might have thought Brexit was done and dusted – but our relationship with the European Union is still in flux.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is proposing a reset that could result in the UK signing up to EU rules without the need for a normal parliamentary vote, under what are known as Henry VIII powers.
But in pushing for closer ties with the continent, is he risking a return to rule-taking without any say in what those rules are? And what might this new relationship with Brussels look like?
Niall speaks to Professor Anand Menon, director at UK in a Changing Europe, about the significance of this moment in UK-EU relations.
