alignment, that would prevent us taking advantage of opportunities elsewhere, some people, i heard, ed daveynomy, to take advantage of things like artificial intelligence and deliver faster growth. people care most about? and the question for politicians is, how is the best way to get that growth for our public services saying at the moment. to give them stuff. it wouldn't come for free. it would probably take a long time. with the eu, that's been in place for a long time. and i think the benefits would come up even quicker want more things. to tear down more barriers. so we said that we think a youth mobility scheme of allowing the freedoms for our young people to travel, but in terms of that mobility scheme, you mentioned that there the eu proposal and a youth mobility so that's a contradiction, isn't it? with canada, with australia, they're cap schemes and they work incredibly well. people would go back. so it wouldn't add to net migration. the princess of wales says learning social and emotional healthier and happier. she has written the foreword to a new framework for action of young fa

the prime minister is being urged by arch—remainer sir ed davey to do just that.opean leaders tomorrow he's meeting them. but wouldn't this just be the first stage of dragging us back into the eu? and why on earth would you do that at this time when donald trump is about to set tariffs on them? so if the great british debate this, i'm asking should the uk join an eu customs union? but before we get started, let's get your latest news with aaron armstrong. >> very good afternoon to you. our headlines. sir keir starmer has rejected suggestions that the uk will rejoin the eu, saying the decision is settled as he faces calls to broker a customs union with the bloc. speaking during the visit of the german chancellor, olaf scholz, to chequers, the prime minister said i do want a reset of the relationship that does not involve a return to the eu. now the two leaders met at the prime minister's country residence ahead of sir keir's visit to belgium for a summit of european leaders. the lib dem leader, sir ed davey, has urged the prime minister to start talks on a new unio

lib dem leader ed davey is hoping he'll aim to bring the uk closer to the european bloc, arguing it will rocket boosters on the uk economy and strengthen our hand against donald trump. but should we be focusing on our relationship with america rather than the eu? interesting debate. this one, isn't it? joining me now is former labour spokesman at james matthewson, james that reset i mean does starmer does a lot of resets doesn't he. so now we're resetting our relationship with the eu. what's going on here then. >> yeah you're absolutely right johni >> yeah you're absolutely right john i think the word reset is has probably been one of the most used in politics over the past six months. >> black hole. black hole. >> black hole. black hole. >> exactly. and i think reset is up there with the rest. but yeah this is this is what they're aiming to do. it's trying to really reset that relationship and take things back to basics and take things back to basics and start new relations with the eu to say what benefits can both the bloc and britain get from a new relationship? you know, people have

so much so that lib dem leader ed davey, whose entire time in parliament since the general election haso challenging keir starmer to a game of fifa on the playstation. yeah. anyway, he actually decided to speak up and say that he thinks that this chagos deal is mental as well. he questioned why the government is making significant payments to mauritius up front, at a time when winter fuel payments have been scrapped. it doesn't make any political, practical or financial sense. as far as i can see, there is literally no case for it. which leads me to this conclusion it's a grubby deal for starmer's lawyer mates. now let's start by looking at who he appointed as our attorney general. lord hermer, a man who has represented gerry adams, the group representing shamima begum. he's been caught as well, slagging off the now president of the united states, donald trump, in this leaked audio recording. >> the most prominent proposition politician in the world. and he's also perhaps the most brazen liar that one has ever kind of come across in a political position. i mean, politicians have always
