Keir Starmer was seemingly missed off the RSVP list for a phone call with President Trump following his two-hour call with Putin.

In a statement, Trump’s spokesman said he had followed the call with a further tet-a-tet with a number of European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen.

However Sir Keir’s name was missing from the list. It’s not yet know whether the PM was unable to join due to the ongoing meeting with Labour MPs, or if he was not invited.

UPDATE: It’s understood the Prime Minister was hosting a business reception meeting British businesses at the time of the phone call, which was rescheduled at short notice.

Latecomers to the Labour PLP are told that the room – which can take up to 200 people- is full. There’s a spillover room apparently

….not for our searing coverage of his ‘Brexit surrender’ but for the fact that Political Editor Martyn Brown held open the door for the PM and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper as they entered parliament. The two Labour leaders grinned and politely said ‘thank you’ as they scuttled by.

The Prime Minister is in buoyant mood ahead of meeting with Labour backbenchers. He says he is pumped’ before entering a large parliamentary committee room to the sound of loud banging on the tables.

Former PM Liz Truss said: “This is a complete sellout. What has happened is he hasn’t achieved anything really more on the trade front – we already had a very good trade deal with the EU. But he has sold out the fishermen, he’s sold out on dynamic alignment and I believe every other party should pledge to reverse this deal in 2029 when he inevitably gets booted out of office.”

PM Keir Starmer will address Labour MPs about his new EU deal at 6pm at a meeting of the PLP.

Our Political Editor Martyn Brown will be outside the room to bring you any updates from the crunch meeting

Responding to Kemi Badenoch’s press conference on today’s EU deal, a Labour Party spokesperson said: “Kemi Badenoch’s posturing would leave our country poorer, less safe, and cowering on the world stage.”

“The Tory leader failed to land deals with the US, India and EU when she had the chance as Trade Secretary.

“Ripping up our EU deal would be bad for jobs, bills and borders.

“Labour is putting more money in working people’s pockets through our Plan for Change and that will be turbo-charged by the three trade agreements we have struck with partners around the world.”

Writing for the Daily Express, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says Keir Starmer’s EU deal has put the Brexit betrayal ‘in full swing’.

Mr Farage writes: “It’s an abject surrender and Labour have well and truly sold out our fishing industry all in the name of closer ties to an ever-diminishing political union. This isn’t Starmer’s first time bending over backwards to appease EU interests. His betrayal of British jobs and national priorities has been evident since the day he took office.”

Labour’s HQ has published a list of questions they are saying Kemi Badenoch should answer following her damning criticism of today’s deal with the EU.

1. The CEO of the British Retail Consortium, Chief Executive of the CBI, and a host of other business leaders have come out and praised this deal. Does Kemi Badenoch think they’re all wrong?

2. The chief executive of Scottish Salmon, the UK’s largest food exporter, has praised the deal for slashing red tape to get salmon to market more quickly. Does Kemi Badenoch think her judgement is better than experts working in the fishing export industry?

3. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has admitted flaws in the Tory Brexit deal meant the UK was unable to remove asylum seekers. Labour’s deal will help strengthen our borders. Does Kemi Badenoch agree with her Shadow Home Secretary?

4. Kemi Badenoch said in October last year that youth mobility schemes are a “good thing”. Will she accept that Labour’s scheme is a “good thing” for Britain’s young people too?

5. Kemi Badenoch said just days ago that “we’re not against youth mobility schemes. We’re against uncapped migration schemes”. Labour’s scheme is both time-limited and capped. Does that mean she supports it?

6. The Conservative government refused to negotiate a defence and security deal with the EU in 2020, requesting that the EU exclude these areas from negotiations. Given Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the need for European defence cooperation, does she think this was a mistake?

7. Linking UK and EU carbon markets would help bring down energy bills in the future and enable businesses to avoid the £7 billion costs of the EU’s carbon border tax. Kemi Badenoch previously supported linking the markets and even introduced legislation to enable it when she was a Treasury Minister. With the Tories pledging to repeal the deal, would she reintroduce the £7 billion of carbon border taxes on business?

8. Kemi Badenoch says she will reverse the deal that the Labour government has just negotiated. Does she accept that will mean the Conservatives would put higher tariffs on British steel exports?

9. This morning, the Shadow Chancellor said: “What we [the Conservatives] do want is greater access for our services particularly financial services and our legal services.” Isn’t this an admission that the Conservatives want a closer relationship with the EU, and that their Brexit deal wasn’t good enough?

10. Kemi Badenoch has opposed the government’s deals with the US, India, and now the deal with the EU. Given the Prime Minister has negotiated three deals in as many weeks, how would she term her failure to land them in government?

Kemi Badenoch says she’ll reverse today’s deal with the EU if she wins the next election.

She said this is her stated position as the deal misses all five of her key tests.

“I don’t think it was worth making such significant concessions. And what concessions has the EU made? It’s not clear.

“Of course there are things we want to see – improvements with e-gates, pet passports – but in a trade deal we have a comprehensive FTA with the EU. Adding things like defence to it creates problems.”

Conservative environment spokesman Victoria Atkins says: “The Prime Minister has just sunk the UK’s fishing industry.”

“This summit was the chance to take pride in our fishing and coastal communities, building on the agreements of five years ago, and seek a brighter future for our fishing and farming communities…

“Labour has capitulated, and in the words of the Scottish Fisherman’s Federation, they have delivered a ‘horror show’.

“As they themselves say, any attempt to portray this as a continuation of existing arrangements would be a lie, because the TCA paved the way for annual negotiations from 2026.

“This is just one part of a bad deal for our country, courtesy of this Labour Government.”

Kemi Badenoch says: “Today, after months of secret negotiations… the Labour government has surrendered many of the gains we secured – our sovereignty, our money, and control over our laws – to the EU.”

“We had a good idea what was coming, and that’s why at the start of the negotiating period we set the government 5 key tests that would protect the people of this country, and stop us refighting the battles of the past…

“This government has breached every single one of those five tests.”

The Tory leader says this deal means Britain will become a “rule taker”.

She says it is “staggering” that on fisheries Britain is in a worse position than the Faroe Islands, and that on agrifood Britain is in a worse position than New Zealand.

Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel says Keir Starmer and Labour “opposed Brexit” at every step, “and today’s surrender summit has seen the UK go back under the thumb of Brussels”.

She highlights the return of ECJ oversight of Britain and the sellout of Britain’s fisheries.

Ms Patel: “No one can seriously believe the spin, the hype, that Labour are putting out today.”

“Today Labour and Keir Starmer betrayed Brexit, and Britain, and the 17 million people who voted to take back control.

“And that’s happened in less than 10 months. He’s now put his foot on the accelerator to put Britain back on the road to state-sponsored control by Brussels, and it’s the Conservative party… that will not stand for that.

“We will stand up for Britain, and our place as an independent, free, and sovereign country, in control of our own destiny.”

Co-leader of the Green Party, Carla Denyer MP, said: “Today’s reset is being broadly welcomed by businesses and is good news for UK consumers faced with the cost of living crisis.”

“There is also hope for young people who want to live, work, study and form friendships freely across Europe.

“The Green Party would like to see an even closer relationship between the UK and EU starting with re-joining the customs union and full freedom of movement across the continent.

“But today’s agreement is definitely a step in the right direction and moves us forward from a place where Reform and the Tories would like us to stay stuck.

“Their Brexit betrayal rhetoric shows they are willing to disregard the damage inflicted on the country through Brexit and ignore the fact that the vast majority of the UK public now believe the UK was wrong to leave the EU.”

Kemi Badenoch says she is “gobsmacked” by Keir Starmer’s surrender to the EU this morning, citing fishing as a particularly prominent example.

She says the Tories spent 10 years negotiating and refining Brexit, only for the PM to now “send us back to square one”.

“We’ve got worse terms. I was worried he was going to come back with three years for the next negotiation, it’s 12 years!

“It’s going to be over a decade that we are giving away our fishing rights, that sells out so many coastal communities in the UK.

“The Faroe Islands get an annual negation on fish!

“The same thing on the emissions trading scheme, accepting EU carbon pricing, that’s going to give us higher energy bills.

“Dynamic alignment means we are rule takers again.”

The Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride has said: “Keir Starmer has sold out fishing communities. He’s been reeled in by the EU, hook, line and sinker.”

“Labour is folding to everyone. They’ve folded to the unions. Folded to Mauritius. Folded to President Trump. Folded to India. Now folding to Brussels. When Labour negotiates, Britain loses.”

Starmer’s EU deal on letting Brits use EU e-gates at passport control is not an automatic agreement under the terms of the treaty, the small print has revealed.

Sky’s Sam Coates picks out wording that confirms this part of the deal will remain subject to nation state approval, in other words France or Italy will have to agree to the e-gate move first.

A former government advisor on Europe, Fred de Fossard, says Starmer’s deal is “already unravelling” and “nothing has changed at all”.

Boris Johnson has broken his silence to slam Keir Starmer’s new Brexit renegotiation in a fiery social media post, which he describes as a “sell-out”.

The former Premier who took Britain out of Europe fumed: “We will have to accept whatever changes the EU decides to make to those laws.”

“We will have to accept the rulings of the European Court of Justice in the definition and enforcement of those laws. We will therefore lose our freedom to innovate in areas such as gene editing and much more besides.

“We will lose much of our freedom to do proper free trade deals. Worst of all we will have no say whatsoever in making those rules and those laws and no ability to change them.

“Two-tier Keir is the orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels.”

The cap on how many people will be able to take part in the youth experience scheme with the EU will be agreed later, Sir Keir Starmer said.

“Obviously, this gives opportunity for young people in the UK to work, travel, volunteer, au pair, you name it in Europe, and the same the other way.

He added: “It is time limited, the numbers to be agreed to come on the capped scheme, and it will be a visa scheme.”

Sir Keir Starmer said the “reset” deal would lead to cheaper prices in supermarkets.

It followed accusations from the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation that the Govrnment’s new deal represented a “horror show” for the industry.

He said: “Let me again repeat the driving principles behind this deal…which is the question does it bring down bills?

“And I think it is really important to see the reaction of supermarkets, of Salmon Scotland, to begin to answer that question because they are celebrating this because they know it will reduce prices.”

He added: “I think it is important to remember in relation to fishing that next year under the old arrangement we didn’t cease to have any EU fishing in our waters, we simply went to a year-on-year negotiation which means there is no stability for anybody.”

The UK Government has “surrendered” fishing in its new deal with the European Union, Scottish First Minister John Swinney said as he insisted his Government was not consulted about the agreement.

Mr Swinney spoke out after the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation (SFF) branded the UK-EU deal, which could give European fishing boats access to UK waters for another 12 years, a “horror show” for the sector.

The First Minister said that the “fishing industry looks as if it’s been surrendered by the United Kingdom Government as part of its negotiations”.

Sir Keir Starmer said the situation in Gaza, where aid imports remain limited and an evacuation order has been issued for its second-largest city Khan Younis, was “really serious, unacceptable, intolerable”.

Ursula von der Leyen said today’s agreement represented a “new beginning for old friends”.

The president of the European Commission said: “We are sovereign neighbours, we are friends, we are allies and this is a new beginning for old friends.

“In this spirit we have designed the roadmap we are working on together and I think it shows that we are working towards a friendly cooperation that is of benefit for both sides of the Channel.”

Defending the 12 year access for EU trawlers, he said: “The length of time for the agreement provides the stability because what would have happened next year is we would have come off the current arrangements but then into year-on-year negotiations where nobody knows year-on-year where they stand.

“This gives stability in relation to that. It also opens the door for shellfish and the like to be sold back into the European market which wasn’t available before this deal and of course we have announced the £360m transformation fund.”

He added: “This is good for fishing.”

Sir Keir Starmer declared “Britain is back on the world stage” after the Government struck a “landmark” deal with the EU.

The Prime Minister said today’s “landmark deal” with the EU was “good for both sides”.

“This deal is a win-win,” he said.

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said it was a “historic moment”.

Speaking alongside Sir Keir Starmer at the summit in Lancaster House, she said: “We are turning a page. We are opening a new chapter in our unique relationship.”

It was a story of “natural partners standing side-by-side on the global stage”, she said.

Antonio Costa, the president of the European Council, said the new deal should be welcomed because it represented “not just progress but a new chapter in the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union”.

He said he believed there was now a “new positive energy” in the relationship between Britain and the bloc.

Mr Costa praised Sir Keir Starmer and said the UK and EU had agreed to hold the summits each year.

Sir Keir Starmer’s press conference with the EU is beginning now.

The Conservatives said: “It looks like Keir Starmer is about sell out Britain to the European Union, and destroy the British fishing industry in the process.

“We’re clear: If he gives powers away to Brussels today, a future Conservative government will take them back.”

Elspeth Macdonald, chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation, said: “This deal is a horror show for Scottish fishermen, far worse than Boris Johnson’s botched Brexit agreement.

“It is clear that Sir Keir Starmer made the whole deal on the backs of our fishermen and coastal communities, granting EU vessels 12 years of continuous access to UK waters at the last minute in order secure other objectives.

“This highlights the total indifference of the British political establishment to the interests of our fishing sector, with Sir Keir becoming the third prime minister after Edward Heath and Johnson to betray the industry.

“Any attempt by either the UK or EU to portray the new deal as a continuation of existing arrangements would be a lie, because in fact the Trade and Co-operation Agreement paved the way for annual access negotiations from 2026.

“At the weekend, Sir Keir said the deal would be measured against how much it would improve job prospects and allow our communities to flourish.

“Giving away a national asset such as our rich and healthy fishing grounds for no discernible benefit not only fails both of these tests, but is a disgrace that will ensure the enmity of this proud industry for many years to come.”

Ursula von der Leyen has arrived at Lancaster House for the UK-EU summit.

Sir Keir Starmer met the European Commission President at the entrance.

Sir Keir Starmer has arrived at the first UK-EU summit after clinching Anti-Brexit protester Steve Bray stood outside the venue playing music as they entered.

A minister refused to confirm whether a potential new youth mobility scheme with the EU, allowing people 30 and under to live and work in the UK, would be capped on numbers.

Asked on Times Radio about a proposed new scheme, Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said existing similar schemes are capped.

Speaking about existing schemes, he said: “They’re limited. They’re targeted. It’s a sort of smart system. It’s not the kind of access people had when we were members of the European Union.”

He said: “I think last year, we issued, as a country about 24,000 visas for the various youth mobility schemes. So this is not immigration, it’s not freedom of movement. It’s something very different.”

Conservative peer Lord Rose said the Government’s deal with the EU was a “win” and should not be described as a surrender.

The former chairman of Marks & Spencer told Times Radio: “It has to be a win… it’s five years since we did the deal in 2020. But in reality, look what has happened in the world since then. There’s been massive global change. And the UK is finding itself increasingly stranded now. And we’ve got to find a role for ourselves.

“And then we’ve been ignoring the 250 million people across the channel, 20 miles away, who are the power base in this part of the world. And we should be attached to them. We shouldn’t be talking about surrender. And we shouldn’t be talking about what we’re giving up. We should be talking about opportunity, opportunity, opportunity.”

Responding to reports that the UK has agreed to 12 years of fishing access for EU boats in UK waters, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “If true that will be the end of the fishing industry.”

The PA news agency is confirming a deal has been agreed.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has agreed a deal with the EU ahead of a major summit with the bloc, PA reports.

After Government sources said talks were “down to the wire” on Sunday, there was a major breakthrough.

The deal has now been approved by the EU ambassadors’ committee, it is understood.

Details are expected to be announced at the first UK-EU summit today, at which Sir Keir will meet European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for the second time in four days.

The talks were on a range of issues and an announcement is expected on defence and security, which could feature an agreement allowing British firms access to a 150 billion euro (£125 billion) EU defence fund.

The Tory leader has slammed the Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to give European fishermen access to British waters for 12 years to land his Brexit “reset” deal.

She said: “We’re becoming a rule-taker from Brussels once again.”

It is “completely wrong” to think that, in signing up to European food standards, the UK will restrict its ability to do new deals in the future, a minister has said.

Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds was asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme if the UK Government securing a new deal on food with the European Union will restrict the country’s ability to secure deals with the US in future.

He said: “No, I think that is completely wrong. And we have shown it (to be) absolutely wrong.

“We have been absolutely clear in all of our trade negotiations, whether it’s with India, the US, the EU, the Gulf, South Korea, Switzerland, we will not change our food production standards.”

And in a potential win for the UK, the EU has agreed to keep talking on a possible youth mobility scheme, rather than make concrete agreements.

All the concessions have been made on one side. Ours.

The UK is giving ground on every front, and getting little or nothing in return, writes Harvey Jones.

Scottish Culture Secretary Angus Robertson has taken aim at the Government over its fishing deal.

He said devolved administrations weren’t given approval, with the Scottish Government receiving no documentation or draft proposals in advance.

Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has said there is “no real reason” British sausages should not be sold in the EU.

“We’ve got a situation where, after Brexit, we’ve got the same food standards in place on both sides of the border, yet our agricultural food exports are down by a fifth,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

“You can’t sell some products at all – I mean, a British sausage made in my constituency. You can’t sell those. Can’t sell burgers.

“We’ve got no real reason for that situation continuing, and, where we can work with our partners, where we can remove costs, where we can remove friction, that means cheaper bills in the long run.”

A landmark reset deal with the European Union has now been finalised, it is understood.

Talks are understood to have continued into the early hours of the morning, with Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds telling Sky News an hour ago it wasn’t yet complete.

But it is now understood that the deal has been approved by the EU ambassadors’ committee.

Keir Starmer has made a major late concession on fisheries to allow the EU 12 ongoing access to British waters on status quo arrangements.

They will now expire in 2038. UK had originally sought just a four year extension.

Richard Tice has has condemned a post-Brexit reset deal with the European Union as “just posturing”.

Reform UK’s deputy leader insisted “the last thing” Britain needs is to “handcuff” itself to an EU in recession.

Sir Keir Starmer said it was time to “move on from the stale old political fights” of the past on Brexit as he faced down critics of his EU “reset”.

The Prime Minister said he will “close a deal in the national interest”.

A minister refused to confirm whether a potential new youth mobility scheme with the EU would be capped on numbers.

Asked on Times Radio about a proposed new scheme, Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said existing similar schemes are capped.

Speaking about existing schemes, he said: “They’re limited. They’re targeted. It’s a sort of smart system. It’s not the kind of access people had when we were members of the European Union.”

He said: “I think last year, we issued, as a country about 24,000 visas for the various youth mobility schemes. So this is not immigration, it’s not freedom of movement. It’s something very different.

“Any scheme like this, if you look at the 13 we already have, they are capped, yes,” he added.

The UK Government’s negotiations for a new deal with the EU have been “promising” and “engaged”, a minister has said.

Speaking to Times Radio, Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds refused to confirm whether the deal has been finalised, but said there is a “real prize” for the country.

“The current deal has huge gaps in it, not just on areas to do with trade, but to do with security as well,” he said.

“So this is about making people better off, about making the country more secure, about making sure there are more jobs in the UK.”

Both Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage have already described the deal as a “surrender”.

They indicated they would tear it up if they came to power.

The Tories have also set out a series of “red lines” on fishing rights, including ensuring exclusive access to Britain’s territorial sea and resisting “a multi-year agreement which only benefits France”.

Monday’s summit will see Sir Keir meet European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for the second time in four days as he aims to strike a deal with the EU on a range of issues.

Deals on allowing British travellers to use e-gates at European airports, cutting red tape on food exports and setting up a youth mobility scheme with the EU are also thought to be on the table.

But reports suggest disagreements over fishing rights and youth mobility have presented last-minute stumbling blocks to an agreement.

Sir Keir Starmer must not “sell out” or “capitulate” to the EU during a UK-EU summit on Monday, MPs and fishermen have warned.

Shadow Environment Secretary Victoria Atkins visited the Isle of Wight ahead of the crunch talks on Monday, where fishermen told her the industry faces extinction without drastic support.

Fishing rights and the free movement of young people between the UK and EU has emerged as a key negotiating point ahead of the UK’s EU-UK summit.

Sir Keir Starmer will meet EU leaders at the talks in London on Monday in an effort to secure a landmark reset of relations since Brexit.
