Sir Keir Starmer has signed a landmark post-Brexit deal with the European Union.
The agreement has been lauded by the prime minister as “a new era in our relationship… moving on from stale old debates” and “following through on what the British public voted for last year”.
His opponents are far from pleased, however, with both Reform and the Conservatives arguing that this sees the UK move back towards the EU and against the will of the people as voted for in 2016. Reform leader Nigel Farage has labelled the deal ‘a surrender’ to the EU by Sir Keir.
But what is actually in the deal? What does it mean, and who stands to benefit the most from it?
Niall Paterson and Sky News political correspondent Tamara Cohen unpack the seismic deal announced in London. The pair look at the benefits for the UK in the deal. They also analyse how damaging some of the prime minister’s concessions could be for the Labour Party, and how Reform could capitalise on this.
