The UK and EU are closing in on a fresh start. Brexiteers are watching closely

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission president Ursula Von der Leyen at the European Political Community summit, in Tirana on May 16, 2025. Hopes are high that the U.K. and European Union could finally agree to reset relations Monday, after Britain's acrimonious exit from the EU in 2020.
50% : Starmer's popularity has fallen to its lowest level on record, with just 23% of Brits polled having a favorable view of the prime minister, according to YouGov research released last week, while positivity toward Farage and Reform UK has risen.
48% : A deal between the U.K. and EU "is there for the taking," Christopher Granville, managing director of Global Political Research at TS Lombard, said in emailed comments, but the big question is whether the U.K. government "will balk for fear of 'Reform UK'." "This will be a revealing test of the political calibre of the Labour government close to one year after its huge election win."
