The election of a Labour government will have big implications for Britain's relationship with the EU. How will Keir Starmer seek to restore trust between London and European capitals? What would the 'security pact' with the EU that Labour has proposed mean in practice? Would Starmer seek closer economic ties, to the benefit of British businesses – and what price would he be prepared to pay? Would it be feasible for the UK to come to an accord with the EU on handling irregular migration? And finally, how will EU institutions and governments react to a change of regime in London?
