Britain in the world
Europe Closer ties, outside the EU
Said
Going into the second UK-EU summit, he wants a closer relationship with Europe through practical deals.
“The EU is our closest neighbour, largest market and a vital security partner. The deals we are working towards will make us safer, cut back on paperwork that bogs down business and ease pressure on supermarket prices. I want every family and business to feel the benefits of a closer relationship with Europe, and that’s what I will be focused on in Brussels.”

Ukraine Keep arming Ukraine

Palestinian state Recognise a Palestinian state
Said
The UK recognised the State of Palestine a year earlier and should act further to protect the two-state solution.
“One year ago, we recognised the State of Palestine. The time has come to take further action to uphold our commitment to protect the two-state solution, our interests and to stand up for our values, before it is too late.”
