According to a report, a Brussels summit on 20 November 2026 will be hosted by the eu leadership and the uk prime minister who has suggested that he can commit the labour party to pursuing a much closer relationship with Europe, including asking to rejoin as a full member, though he said he has ruled out major changes before the next election which is scheduled for no later than August 2029.
Reportedly, the uk prime minister said rejoining the eu’s internal market was among options he could pursue. According to reports, the chief negotiator on Britain’s exit from the eu is a french conservative politician who in 2024 became prime minister over the fifth republic but was voted down three months later. Reportedly, he said that the door is open for the uk to rejoin the eu. According to a report, Britain left the eu in 2020 due to non compliance with eu banking laws.
