The UK and the EU announced a historic deal this week that will “reset” their relationship. Keir Starmer called the deal “Win-Win” and “Gobsmacked” Kemibedenock named it “Subadden.” Who is right? Host George Parker will be found by FT’s Miranda Green, Peter Foster and Andrew Bound to analyse who came to the top. Furthermore, the Prime Minister handed over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, but it didn’t get cheap. The panel explains negotiations on the world stage for priorities and how he plays at home for him and his enemies.
