Live: Starmer reflects on Nato and EPC collaboration after Biden drops out of 2024 race

Sir Keir Starmer declared that Britain is “back on the international stage” as he sought to put the UK at the centre of European cooperation and build closer ties with the continent.

Just 13 days into his premiership, he scored his first major success as European leaders hailed his plan for a new era in post-Brexit relations.

Hosting the summit of the European Political Community (EPC) at a Unesco world heritage site in Oxfordshire, Sir Keir suggested he was open to dealing with the small boats crisis by processing migrants offshore, saying that he is a “pragmatist”.
