A Nato summit in Washington in week one, a meeting of the European Political Community (EPC) on home soil in week two — Sir Keir Starmer is enjoying a fast start on the international stage.
The EPC provides an opportunity for Sir Keir not only to reset relations with our European partners, but to begin the process of cutting deals. High on the list of priorities will be securing a new agreement with French president Emmanuel Macron on sending migrants who arrive in Britain by small boats back to France. In return, the UK would accept a certain number of asylum seekers from Europe.
