Hybrid discussion on 'The Liberal Democrat approach to the UK-EU reset'

14 July 2025
Hybrid London/Zoom

Speaker: Daisy Cooper, Deputy Leader, Liberal Democrats & Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for the Treasury
Chair: Ian Bond, Deputy Director, Centre for European Reform

After the May 19th EU-UK summit, the Prime Minister has faced criticism, inevitably, from eurosceptic media commentators and politicians for supposedly 'betraying Brexit' by taking the UK closer to the EU. But might a more justifiable criticism be that the agreements reached on May 19th are too modest to give a major boost to UK growth or to reflect the gravity of current security threats to Europe? Daisy Cooper explains why her party thinks that the government needs to go further, and what it should do now.
