Nato Summit: Keir Starmer says ‘Britain belongs on world stage’

Starmer is asked whether his past position opposing Brexit has helped him forge ties with European leaders in his early days as prime minister.

The PM says he wants a “reset” of relations and clarifies that is “not about going back into the EU”.

He says the UK became too “inward looking” after Brexit and wasn’t interested enough in its global position, saying he wants to change the “posture” of government.

“The UK is back, it’s confident, we want to play our role on the world stage,” is the message he want to send, Starmer tells reporters.

Pressed again on President Biden’s gaffe, Starmer says: “This was a successful council, he led it, he deserves credit for it.”
