The Spin

Left narrative

Starmer's push for closer ties with the EU is crucial for the UK's future. Post-Brexit realities have shown the economic and political challenges of distancing the UK from Europe. Strengthening trade links and security partnerships can boost the economy, enhance global cooperation, and protect against external threats. The UK needs a pragmatic approach that recognizes the value of a collaborative relationship with Europe.

The New EuropeanGuardian

Right narrative

Starmer's push for closer ties with the EU is a dangerous misstep. The EU’s economy is struggling, and aligning with it exposes the UK to further stagnation. With Trump's trade war looming, Starmer is recklessly positioning the UK on the wrong side. Instead of protecting British interests and respecting the referendum's result, he's pandering to Brussels, risking the UK's economic future in the pursuit of ideological self-interest.
