UK Rejoins EU Power Bloc? Starmer’s $150Bn Deal STUNS Brexiteers | ‘Farage Calls It A Betrayal!’

Britain and the EU have announced a sweeping reset in their post-Brexit relationship, covering trade, defence, and mobility. The deal allows UK participation in a €150B EU defence program, cuts red tape on food exports, simplifies travel, and opens joint military procurement to firms like BAE and Rolls-Royce. Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls the agreement a step toward stability and prosperity, projecting a £9B boost to the UK economy by 2040. While critics like Nigel Farage slam it as a betrayal, the reset signals a pivot to practical cooperation over political division. #UK #EU #BrexitReset #TradeDeal #DefenceCooperation #KeirStarmer #EUUKDeal #PostBrexit #UKPolitics #GlobalTrade #BAE #RollsRoyce #MobilityScheme #ErasmusPlus #FoodExports #BorderChecks #FishingAgreement #YouthMobility #EuropeanUnion #UKNews #Diplomacy #BrexitUpdate #ForeignPolicy #TrumpEffect #MilitaryProcurement #EUDefence #UKEconomy #StarmerSpeech #GlobalUncertainty #InternationalRelations #PracticalBrexit Also Read India, UK Sign Landmark Free Trade Agreement To Boost Bilateral Economic Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-uk-sign-landmark-free-trade-agreement-to-boost-bilateral-economic-ties-4145069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Embraces Zelensky At 10 Downing Street After Latter's Spat With Trump At White House | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-embraces-zelensky-at-10-downing-street-after-spat-with-trump-at-white-house-watch-4084385.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~
