  • The European Union and the United Kingdom are rebuilding their ties in response to the shift in global order and the widening transatlantic divide.
  • The benefits of Brexit turned out to be more rhetorical than actual, with life worsening for the British and the government bearing the brunt.
  • Keir Starmer's government has decided to restart relations with the EU, initiating new avenues of cooperation.
  • The agreement signed in London covers defence, trade, youth mobility, and fishing.
  • UK products with animal or vegetable components will see softened health and phytosanitary controls, easing trade.
  • The UK may join in EU military missions and benefit from the EU's defence fund.
  • No decision was reached on how to combat illegal migration, a priority topic for Starmer.
  • Ties have been redesigned in response to changes in the global order and worldwide instability.

Conclusion: The Brexit divorce is irreversible, but both parties now seek to redefine their relations and work together to tackle common problems.
