Nearly a decade after the Brexit vote, the UK and EU are reportedly moving towards a closer relationship. The Guardian has revealed that Labour is planning new legislation to facilitate a 'reset' of ties between the two entities.
Senior correspondent Lisa O'Carroll discussed the potential shape of this reset with Helen Pidd. The proposed changes aim to strengthen cooperation in areas such as trade, security, and data sharing, marking a significant shift from the post-Brexit stance.
The discussion also touched on the EU's current standing, particularly in light of Viktor Orbán's recent electoral defeat in Hungary. This development is seen as a boost for the EU's unity and appeal, potentially influencing the UK's approach to rapprochement.
As Labour outlines its vision, the feasibility and timing of such a reset remain key questions. The podcast episode provides an in-depth analysis of the political and economic factors at play.
