Trump, Russia, Iran: Is £1 billion worth it to reset EU relations?

Sir Keir Starmer has been criticised for pursuing a UK reset with Brussels at an EU summit in Armenia.

The Prime Minister announced the UK’s bid to join a Ukraine loan initiative at a gathering of European leaders in the Armenian capital Yerevan on Monday. The UK's contribution could reach up to £400 million.

He was also using the trip to continue his push for closer ties with the bloc on defence, security and the economy, and to make the case for his reset with Brussels to UK voters ahead of local elections this week. Sir Keir hoped to pursue his calls for "deeper economic integration" with Europe and to align the UK with the single market in areas "where that would work for both sides" at the summit.

However, the trip has come under fire from Conservative Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel for “unpicking Brexit and planning another undemocratic hit job on British taxpayers by signing us up to a £1bn annual payment to the EU”.

Iain Dale is joined by campaigner Tom Bruffato to discuss.
