Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 June 2026

Debate

UK-EU Economic Co-operation

Contribution

I have been working hard in this Labour Government to reset the relationship so damaged by the choices of the Conservatives. That is why we have committed to this second UK-EU summit, after the agreement between President Ursula von der Leyen and our Prime Minister last year to finalise the deal on food to help our farmers, on youth mobility to help our young people, and on emissions trading to help keep the cost of energy down.
