This week, the 4th round of negotiations on the future partnership between the UK and the European Union take place. We left the European Union at the end of January - we all need the Government to deliver on its promises & secure a good deal for the UK. (1/5)
At the general election in December the Prime Minister spoke of an 'oven-ready deal' with the European Union. These negotiations are the occasion for the government to deliver what was promised. It has real implications for all of us. (2/5)
We need a settlement which will strengthen the country & help UK industries prosper & succeed. From freight to farming, the vital new relationships to be negotiated could make a big difference to key sectors of our economy. Labour will always defend people’s livelihoods. (3/5)
At the last election, The Conservatives committed to an “ambitious, broad, deep and flexible partnership”, which protects "workers' rights, consumer and environmental protections". That is what the country reasonably expects. (4/5)
Now the UK is outside the EU, the overwhelming majority of people are united in wanting to see a positive outcome achieved with our European neighbours so that we can increase living standards for all our communities. That is the ultimate test - the national interest. (5/5)
