Starmer pledges to bring Britain closer to the EU as he faces calls to step down • FRANCE 24

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged Monday to prove the “doubters” in his own party and among the electorate as a whole wrong as he tries to fight off demands to step down after devastating local election results for his Labour Party. Starmer argued that he will “face up to the big challenges” and restore hope to the country, in part by forging closer ties with the European Union, six years after the UK's acrimonious departure from the bloc. FRANCE 24's European Affairs Editor Armen Georgian tells us more.
