Next week's UK-EU summit will be a “step towards” a deeper & ongoing partnership with Europe, says Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Any deal struck next week will not be a “one off” & “there will be future areas in which we can do more.” Are you pleased about this?

In Keir Starmer, the UK has finally got an adult at the negotiating table. Taken in the round, this looks like a pretty good agreement with the EU. But nothing will satisfy the bellyaching Brexiters, will it?
