Keir Starmer sparks huge reaction in speech to Euro leaders with words that betray Brexit

Sir Keir Starmer sparked a reaction among several European leaders after making a nine-word Brexit Britain comment during a key speech in Munich. The Prime Minister made the comments on the second day of the Munich Security Conference and just over six years since the UK left the European Union on January 31, 2020.

He said: "We are not the Britain of the Brexit years anymore." The comment sparked a round of applause from European leaders gathered in the room. Sir Keir added: "Because we know that in a dangerous world, we would not take control by turning inward, we would surrender it, and I won't let that happen. That's why I devote time as Prime Minister to Britain's leadership on the world stage, and that's why I'm here today, because I am clear there is no British security without Europe and no European security without Britain. That is the lesson of history, and is today's reality as well."
