Summary
The UK and EU reached a significant post-Brexit agreement, allowing EU boats to fish in UK waters for an extended 12 years, opposed by UK Conservatives. In exchange, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer secured a veterinary deal to ease trade barriers for British agrifood exports. As both sides prepare for a London summit, they continue negotiations on a youth mobility scheme, with the EU demanding more concessions from Starmer, who seeks to maintain vague commitments to ease domestic pressures.
