With Labour polling ahead of the Conservatives for the upcoming UK general election, questions arise about their stance on the EU.
Starmer has dismissed the idea of rejoining the EU or restoring full freedom of movement.
He has also rejected calls for new visa deals for young workers and rejoining the Erasmus program.
Instead, Labour aims to strengthen trade and security ties with the EU.
Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves emphasized a less adversarial approach to negotiations, focusing on specific industries.
The challenge for Starmer will be to align with EU regulations without alienating British voters who supported Brexit.
Labour is also committed to NATO and supporting Ukraine, with plans for a new security pact with Europe.
However, the details of this pact remain vague, likely as a strategy to negotiate broader issues under the guise of security.
The success of Labour's approach will depend on the size of its majority and its ability to present clear proposals to the EU.
