The EU-UK pre-summit negotiations are getting spicy ahead of Monday summit — EU member states digging in on mobility and fish, UK trying (and failing) to lobby capitals over Commisson’s head.

Some trenchant briefings to me @andybounds.bsky.social and @georgewparker.bsky.social

🇪🇺🛡️ Défense : le réarmement quoi qu’il en coûte

Début mars, Ursula von der Leyen a dévoilé un plan de 800 milliards d'euros destiné à la défense européenne. D’où provient ce budget ? Cette volonté de réarmement marque-t-elle un tournant ?

The “price” and “prize” of being spared tariffs from the US is a bilateral trade deal, on terms which are unlikely to be favorable for the UK, and will surely make any realignment with the EU impossible. This presents Starmer with an incredibly tough choice.

Starmer’s reset of the UK-EU relationship is of fundamental importance for both sides. The stagnant British economy needs a better trade deal than that bequeathed by Johnson’s government, writes Charles Grant in the @centreeuropeanref.bsky.social 2024 annual report.
