Live: UK hosts meeting with EU leaders to discuss major issues

Sir Keir Starmer is seeking to “fire the starting gun” on Britain’s “new approach to Europe” as he hosts a summit with continental leaders, a day after setting out his government’s agenda in the King’s Speech.

The prime minister will use the 47-member European Political Community summit at Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, to push for action to secure the continent’s borders, as he steps up efforts to tackle the UK’s asylum backlog.

If you want to know how important the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern and the Commonwealth realms, and The Commonwealth is, then European leaders coming to the UK and the symbolic Blenheim Palace (notice how long they have to walk), where the greatest and most important British leader was born - the late great Sir Winston Churchill, then this is the proof.

HEADED BY THE GREAT INSPIRING MOTIVES OF PRIME MINISTER STARMER', WHEN TEAM NATO WORKS AND TEAM EU WORKS TOGETHER. THEN IT WILL BE SUCH A POSITIVE PLACE, THAT IT WILL COMPLETELY GENERATE NEW IDEAS FOR SHARED BUSINESS RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD TO BENEFIT ALL MEMBERS. AS IN, IF ALL ARMED SERVICES SHARE TO CYCLE WITHIN EACH OTHERS SCHOOLS, THEN ALL OF OUR NATIONAL CHILDREN CAN TRAIN UP FOR THEIR FUTURE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. WHEN THEY LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCED ADULTS. AND ALSO IN MEDICAL SERVICES. IT IS A QUESTION OF ORGANISATION OF BANKS ALSO BEING WILLING TO BREED THE NEXT CUSTOMERS AND GENERATION OF CLEVER MINDS.
STARMER AND TEAM NATO!!! WITH A WONDERFUL SHARED VISION OF THEIR CO-OPERATION AT BLENHEIM PALACE.

"Democratic Europe" does not show some leaders by imposing an image quota!
Get rid of this sick mentality and hypocritical attitudes.

OK, so we voted to leave the EU. Now Brussels has come to us. It appears we are hosting it. Kier Starmer is leading it.
😂
This gaslighting is off the charts. Sure does look like we never actually left. 😂
