Sir Keir Starmer must “fire the starting gun” on creating a new customs union with the EU, the Prime Minister has been told ahead of a meeting with European leaders. Such a move will put “rocket boosters” on the UK economy and will “strengthen our hand” against Donald Trump’s US,

Nigel Farage warned Sir Keir Starmer not to sabotage a potential US trade deal by moving closer to the EU. The Prime Minister, who has pledged a Brexit "reset", will meet European leaders in Brussels tomorrow. But the Reform UK leader insisted Sir Keir should prioritise America over the bloc following Donald Trump 's return to the White House.
