After Brexit, the EU and the UK face each other again... ”A new era has begun”

British and European Union leaders met for the first time since Brexit and announced they had "opened a new era" in their relationship, with new security, trade and fishing arrangements to be agreed.
The two sides reached an agreement on a range of areas, including trade agreements and the movement of people.
The Chairman held a summit in London and announced the agreement to rebuild relations. Prime Minister Starmer said, "Now is the time to look to the future. We need to move away from old arguments and political disputes and find common sense and practical solutions."
"We must find a solution," he said, praising the agreement as "opening a new era in our relationship." Von der Leyen also said, "We have turned a page and are starting a new era."
"We are opening a new chapter. This is a very important day. At a time of rising geopolitical tensions, steps like this are important, and we share common values," he said.
The talks, held for the first time in five years, come amid growing sentiment for European unity amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the isolationist stance of the United States.

Starmer said the deal was a "win-win" for both the UK and the EU.
The Conservative Party, which led Brexit, denounced the deal as a "surrender to the EU" and urged Britain to "reform its trade deal," which has been gaining support in recent years.
Party leader Nigel Farage slammed the move, saying it had "completely sold out our fishing industry in the name of cozying up to a faltering political coalition".
Meanwhile, the Green Party welcomed the agreement, and the agricultural and meat industries, which have seen trade opportunities expand as a result of the agreement, also expressed their support.
Recently, there has been growing scepticism in the UK about the 2016 Brexit decision, although there is currently no desire for the UK to rejoin the EU.
A YouGov poll conducted in January this year found that 62% of people considered Brexit to be "close to failure," while only 11% said it was "close to success."
% of respondents said they did not want the UK to rejoin the EU or the single market, but wanted a closer relationship (64%).
The poll was split evenly between those who thought there was a chance of the UK rejoining the EU within the next 12 months (39%) and those who thought there was a low or no chance (40%).
