Keir Starmer came into power promising to “reset” Britain’s relationship with Europe, says Jon Stone in Politico. But the EU is “starting to wonder whether he really means it”. His “swift rejection” of EU priorities, such as setting up a youth mobility scheme and rejoining the Erasmus student exchange programme, has gone down particularly badly with European officials and diplomats. “People are starting to think it’s a bit of a facade,” says one senior EU official. “The answer is always ‘no’.”
