Ten years after the Brexit vote, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer seeks to improve UK-EU relations through reset deals without rejoining the EU, facing challenges in balancing closer ties with public sentiment and political red lines.

• Ten years after the 2016 Brexit vote, Keir Starmer aims to reset UK-EU relations without rejoining the EU or its institutions.
• Starmer's government secured a post-Brexit EU reset deal in 2024, focusing on defense, food standards, and youth mobility, with a second summit planned for July 2024.
• Public opinion supports closer UK-EU ties but not full rejoining of the EU, with concerns over sovereignty and immigration remaining significant.
