PRIME MINISTER Sir Keir Starmer endorsed a new treaty with Germany today as a first step in binding Britain closer to the European Union once more.

The pact, agreed in principle during a visit to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, will cover trade, business, science, technology and development and be formally signed early next year.

Sir Keir claimed it represented a “once-in-a-generation chance to deliver for working people in Britain and in Germany.”
